Studying Natural Law and Theories.

It is through life and physical sciences that knowledge is we gather observations about the universe, the order within nature, and organize and condense that knowledge into testable laws and theories.

Discover cures, energy sources and environmental solutions.

There is a need to discover new sources of energy, find cures for human diseases, solve environmental issues, improve prediction of weather events, and increase agricultural yields, to name a few.

Passionate, expert teachers.

Faculty members who teach in the life and physical sciences are committed to developing the next generation of researchers who will tackle these issues and along with others that we have not yet to even consider.

Understand mental health and human behavior.

The behavioral and health sciences seek to understand mental processes and human behavior by looking at individuals in a biopsychological context, free of biases and judgment. Students explore the causes of human behavior. Our faculty empower students to make responsible and thoughtful decisions in all areas of life to enhance the mind, the body and the spirit.

Using math to understand the world.

Mathematics is an area of investigation that includes the most fundamental processes of observing our world, such as counting and measuring. It explains how to collect, organize, and present data to help us better understand the world, and how to model real-life situations to allow us to make relevant predictions and critical decisions.
