Departmental Goals
To develop in our students high-level skills, such as problem solving, reasoning, and the ability to engage in research;
To prepare students for advanced study in graduate programs in Environmental Science and Computer Science as well as B.S. degree programs in Chemistry, Physics and Engineering;
To prepare students to compete for well-paying positions in the applied and environmental sciences; and
To prepare our students such that they may create their own position in society (e.g. consulting, entrepreneurship) regardless of the economic climate.
Academic Standards
Students in the Department are expected to pass all departmental required courses with a grade of C or better. Students will be required to repeat any course on which a grade of C- or below is received before being permitted to go on to the next course in the sequence.
