The Department of Natural and Applied Sciences

The Department of Natural and Applied Sciences offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in Biological Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science.

The mission of the department is to educate and train our students in the science, technology, and mathematics disciplines to become life-long learners, problem solvers, and environmentally responsible citizens.

The department provides a supporting and nurturing environment that prepares students to join the Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) workforce, or to enroll in a professional or a graduate school. We work diligently to place interested students in research internships and research training programs, both on and off-campus, as further preparation for their field of choice, thus aiding in the transition to the next level of their careers.

Coursework in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science is also offered for non-majors in order to educate all students in science, technology, and mathematics.

BIOLOGY MAJOR

With a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Cheyney University, students are qualified to enter careers in health-related fields, teach biology in secondary school (with required certification), and enter professional schools of dentistry, medicine, physical therapy, nursing, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, and physician assistant, or continue their education through graduate school programs in biology, biotechnology, and the biomedical sciences.

There are six areas of concentration under the biology degree program:

  • Concentration in Pre-Medicine
  • Concentration in Pre-Nursing/Health Professions

These concentrations offer students the opportunity to “specialize” within an area of biology as preparation for careers in specific, high-demand fields, and require students to complete a total of seven major-track electives specific to the chosen concentration. Because the emphasis is placed on various research and scientific skills, students are also positioned to enter graduate and professional programs.

MINOR IN BIOLOGY:

Understanding the basics of biology can add breadth and depth to other majors, particularly Chemistry and Psychology. A minor in biology provides students with diverse background information that will increase their employment opportunities while allowing them to better appreciate the functioning of the world around them.
