Programs offered in the Brescia Division of Mathematics and Natural Science prepare students for a wide variety of careers. The goal of the Division is to provide students with a strong knowledge base in their majors, as well as many opportunities to develop problem-solving, technological, communication, and leadership skills.

Most Division programs are housed in a well-equipped Science Building providing science and computer labs, a greenhouse, animal room, darkrooms, observatory, and space for independent student research projects.

Division faculty have a variety of backgrounds and interests, but all are committed to excellence in undergraduate instruction in the liberal arts environment. Placing a high value on student needs, they work together to offer quality programs with integrated curricula and conveniently scheduled classes. In addition to a personal faculty advisor for each student, small class sizes assure a high degree of interaction with all faculty, who encourage them to seek career-related experiences and to do specialized research projects.
