Goals of Our Current Program

• recruit and retain science majors
• expose science students to broadly applicable computational methods and increase their understanding of the connections within and among traditional disciplines.
• prepare undergraduates to pursue a wide range of careers requiring sophistication in science, irrespective of their majors.
