  • Inside the Science Center

    Our students are encouraged to develop a healthy mind for exploration that goes far beyond the classroom. The new flagship facility (which opens for fall 2013 semester) will provide the ideal space for students in the School of Sciences to engage, gather, study, and learn. It will also host many of the foundation courses in the School of Health Sciences. With a focus on research and experimentation, students of all majors will benefit from this new academic space.
