The Department of Physical Sciences is comprised of the disciplines of biotechnology, chemistry, environmental science, and physics. It offers undergraduate programs leading to B.S. degrees in biotechnology, chemistry, environmental science, medical technology, physics, and science education.

The objectives of this department are:

• to prepare students for scientific career opportunities in industry and government;
• to provide students the pre-professional training required for entrance into schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, nursing, physical therapy, engineering, medical technology, pharmacy, and allied public health fields;
• to prepare students to enter the teaching profession in science education;
• to prepare students for graduate study in biotechnology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science.

The interested student is encouraged to participate in a directed research experience as an integral part of the science program. All students majoring in biotechnology, chemistry, environmental science, science education, or physics will be required to take a mid-level assessment exam at the beginning of their junior year and the ETS Major Field Achievement Examination (or comparable examination) in their senior year.
