Natural and Biological Sciences
CAS offers a wealth of immersive programs spanning biological science, physical and environmental science, data science, and mathematics. These areas incorporate the extraction of data to examine the fundamentals of how things work, exist, and interact within both the known and theoretical universe, at all scales – from the astronomical to the nano.
Starting your first year, your professors will encourage you to join their research teams, where you can make real contributions not only in the lab but also at major conferences and in scholarly journals. These experiences will give you a strong advantage for professional or graduate school acceptance as well as rewarding careers in both the private and public sectors.
But your opportunities don’t stop there. You will find plenty of practical, career-focused experiences in such diverse offerings as our pre-healthcare preceptorships, summer geological field camps, the annual spring DataFest, and numerous internships, scholarships, and study abroad programs.
