The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences
Mission
The college of Engineering and Natural Sciences provides high
quality education, professional service to the region, and advancement of
knowledge through the research activities of its faculty, students, and
staff. The educational mission is four-fold: first, to provide all
students basic instruction in the concepts of professional education in biology,
chemistry, engineering, geology, geography, mathematics; physics and statistics;
second, to provide programs of professional education in biology, chemistry,
engineering, geology, geography, mathematics; physics and statistics; third, to
provide instruction in the basic sciences as a foundation for students pursuing
professional degrees in the health sciences and allied health fields; and
fourth, to prepare students to successfully continue their education at the
graduate school of their choice.
The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences is
comprised of five departments: Biological Sciences; Chemistry;
Engineering; Geology, Geography and Physics; and Mathematics and
Statistics. The pre-professional curricula in the health sciences
are also supported within this college.
Four degrees are offered within the College of Engineering and
Natural Sciences; the university-wide Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) degree, the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and Majors in
Biology, Chemistry, Geoscience, Health Science, and Mathematics are available
supporting the B.S. degree. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree
is offered with specialty areas of Civil, Electrical, Industrial, and Mechanical
Engineering.
