Mission Statement

The School of Sciences represents the behavioral, social, natural and computational sciences. The word “science” means having knowledge, to know. The disciplines in the School of Sciences focus on the knowing of the individual and society, history and nature and their laws, and the methods and technology used to understand these phenomena. This knowledge empowers students to be inquiring, insightful, informed critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and successful professionals.

The mission of the School of Sciences is to provide the highest quality of education, training, research, and service. We provide students with a breadth of knowledge and the skills necessary for further careers in the sciences and in life. We hope to instill an appreciation for all forms of life and a sense of social responsibility, awakening a sense of wonder through both analysis and synthesis in the student. The School strives to improve the quality of life by addressing major contemporary social and scientific issues through problem solving and logical inquiry.

Our faculty are committed to exhibiting the highest personal, professional, and ethical standards. We foster respect for diversity in a multicultural society and we actively combat discrimination in all its forms. Our programs strive to instill a personal and professional appreciation and commitment to community, global service, and justice. We foster tolerance and acceptance for individual and group differences.

Our School focuses on the personal as well as the professional development of the University community. An important element of our core curriculum is the education and training of students in the development of interpersonal skills, empathy, and respect for others as well as self-reflection and self-awareness.
