ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The program offers a thorough and in-depth mathematics education that teaches you how to utilize math to solve some of the most challenging issues in the world.
To solve problems and comprehend natural and artificial phenomena, you will learn to collaborate with experts from various fields, such as the physical sciences, engineering, and business. You will get the chance to participate in faculty-mentored research as an undergraduate math student in a variety of topics, such as the best ways for students to study mathematics or purely mathematical issues.
LEARN BY DOING
After completing the program, you will understand the basic biological principles, think logically and communicate clearly within the field and to other researchers, become conscious of social problems relevant to life sciences, prepare for careers in the life sciences, teaching, and graduate studies, provide a strong pre-professional foundation for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, dental hygiene, medical technology, nursing, and medical records administration, and engage in basic and applied research that benefits the local and scientific community,
“Challenging Minds, Changing Lives.”
APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Your time will be spent collecting and analyzing data or running experiments on state-of-the-art equipment – not solely sitting at desks.
