The School of Science leads in the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge that will be the core of tomorrow’s technology.
We prepare students for a wide variety of careers in the firmly established areas of mathematics and natural sciences while forging ahead to develop excellent new programs in the emerging fields of information science.
New curricula in bioinformatics, molecular biology, and information technology are meeting the high demand for scientists in these areas.
We aim to give our students:
- A broad background in their particular field.
- Working knowledge of modern research and technological tools.
- An appreciation of good theoretical, experimental, and computational research.
- Preparation for a lifetime of learning and discovery as both individuals and part of a team.
Students may attain these goals through a variety of majors offered within the six departments or through interdisciplinary degree programs.
The School of Science also offers an Accelerated Program for qualified students, where students earn both their B.S. and Ph.D in seven years.
For those students wishing to extend their undergraduate financial aid while they earn a master's degree, Rensselaer offers a co-terminal degree program.
