The College of Sciences, composed of eight departments and various subprograms, offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, and curricula for pre-professional students in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. The science curriculum is enhanced by research centers which provide field experience as well as special seminars with guest speakers. The off-campus sites include the Mt. Laguna Observatory, and about 5,000 acres in four biological sciences research stations. The majority of tenured sciences faculty have active research programs which offer student involvement.
