Faculty at the Science and Mathematics Programs

We have a distinguished faculty that includes 3 emeriti professors, 15 full-time professors, and more than 9 adjunct professors and lecturers.  Like our school, our faculty reflects the broad interests and interdisciplinary nature of natural science, technology and mathematics. They are represented by three categorical groups: (1) biologic science (including biology, ecology, zoology, and botanic science) and medical laboratory technology; (2) earth and environmental sciences (including geology, paleontology, glaciogeology/Quaternary geology, environmental geology, chemistry/environmental chemistry, and geographic information science); and (3) mathematics.
