College of Science Degrees
College of Science degree and program paths are categorized into four core foundational areas:
Completing certificates and/or associate degrees before, or concurrently with, a bachelor's program gives students concrete science credentials that can significantly improve hireability within competitive scientific fields.
Students are encouraged to explore multiple paths, as many programs share the same initial foundational course requirements. All available degrees and programs are detailed further below.
Academic Advising & Support
Our dedicated academic advisors will guide you through your structural options, help you evaluate which specific paths best align with your personal goals, and teach you how to coordinate registration smoothly.
