The Division of Natural Sciences at Carthage is composed of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography & Earth Science, Mathematics and Physics & Astronomy, and the interdivisional programs in Environmental Science, Neuroscience and ScienceWorks: Entrepreneurial Studies in the Natural Sciences.
The Division strives to provide the highest quality experience in science and mathematics within the context of a liberal arts education. Each student approaches the offerings of the Division with a different need. For many students, the courses taken will be their only academic experience in science and mathematics. The courses taken by these students will expose them to the diversity in science and mathematics, while helping to develop a sense of intellectual curiosity and the judgment necessary to function effectively in our increasingly complex world.
Dedicated Faculty — Focus on Research
The cornerstone of an education in science and mathematics is the opportunity to explore a chosen discipline in depth. The faculty is dedicated to providing an environment that will nurture this exploration and allow the student to develop a close academic relationship with a faculty mentor. Students are encouraged to participate in various ongoing research projects as early in their academic career as possible.
Preparation for Careers, Graduate School
Students majoring in one of the many disciplines within the Division are well prepared for careers in education, research or industry. Many students choose to continue their education and are admitted to some of the finest graduate and professional schools in the nation. The Division of Natural Sciences is keenly aware of the importance of science education for the population at large. For this reason, the Division has general education courses in each department and NATS 150 Discovery, a series of thought-provoking, topic-oriented seminars and laboratory experiences designed for non-science majors.
A special science-related program available to Carthage students is Entrepreneurial Studies in the Natural Sciences (Science Works).
