Department Philosophy

Science is a major part of our culture. It is important not only in its factual content, but also in its method and philosophy. Since it has become enmeshed in our social institutions, our students need to be scientifically literate, develop a sense of inquiry, and appreciative of the natural world.

Department Learner Goals

The general objective of the science curriculum is to provide the essential background knowledge and skills that the young adult will need to take an active and intelligent part in her community

More specifically, the science department attempts to prepare the student to:

Use the scientific method to develop careful observation, critical thinking, and problem solving skills
Develop scientific literacy to be an informed citizen
Appreciate the inter- relatedness of physical and biological systems
Incorporate scientific knowledge into daily life
Understand the science that underlies the ethical issues of our day
Value the beauty of the natural environment and responsibly use its resources
