QuickLinks

Our students are not passive learners but rather, active participants in the classroom, in our laboratories, across the campus, and throughout the region. They use their undergraduate experience as a foundation for successful careers in fields such as research, education, medicine, law and business.
We provide unique opportunities that include:
An intensive, experimentally-focused training in select areas at the forefront of the field
A flexible and integrated curriculum that allows students to develop their own educational plans, many of which can interface with other disciplines    
A challenging, yet nurturing environment that helps the students define, work toward and reach their academic, personal and professional goals
