Physical Sciences Collegiate Division
The work of the Physical Sciences Collegiate Division encompasses two major areas of intellectual endeavor, the disciplines concerned with theoretical, observational and experimental studies of the inanimate environment, from the submicroscopic to the cosmic, and those concerned with the languages of quantitative reasoning--computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
The Division provides six sequences that introduce students to various disciplines in the physical sciences as well as yearlong sequences in chemistry or physics required of students who choose to concentrate in one of the natural sciences. It also provides a wide range of basic courses in the mathematical sciences. It offers seven concentration programs leading to the B.A. degree and eight leading to the B.S. degree. One degree program, biological chemistry, is offered jointly by the Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences Collegiate Divisions.
