The mission of the Department of Life and Earth Sciences is the incremental development in all students of core scientific competencies and intellectual skill, the provision of breadth and depth of educational opportunity, and the enhancement of a community that values learning.

As scientists we believe that science is best learned by active enquiry and strongly encourage this at every level, including original student and faculty research projects.

As liberal arts scholars we encourage interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge.
