The College of Science and Mathematics offers programs leading to bachelor’s degrees in several disciplines. The Bachelor of Science degree is offered in biological sciences, chemistry, clinical laboratory science, earth sciences, environmental sciences, mathematics, psychology, and statistics. Bachelor of Arts programs are available in chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, and psychology. The college also offers master’s and doctoral degrees in certain programs. Interdisciplinary baccalaureate programs are offered by some departments, such earth and environmental sciences, mathematics and statistics, and physics. Preprofessional programs for students planning to teach science or mathematics in grades 7-12 are available in biological sciences, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, and physics.

Dual major programs are available in some departments (e.g., chemistry-biology); students should discuss any specific interest with the college advisor. Dual majors will receive a Bachelor of Science degree when both of the departments are in the College of Science and Mathematics, if approved by both departments. Students interested in certain professional programs ordinarily can take one of the science curricula or a modified program that will be acceptable for graduation, for transfer elsewhere to the desired professional program, or for admission to the Wright State University Schools of Medicine and Professional Psychology.
