You’re naturally curious - always wondering how things work, asking big questions or thinking through challenging problems. At Lander University, the College of Science and Mathematics will give you the tools to turn that curiosity into knowledge and skills you can use in your future career. Whether you’re interested in studying chemistry, forensic science, biology, environmental science, mathematics or engineering, or one of our pre-allied health programs, you’ll find a program here that matches your interests and goals.
At Lander, learning goes beyond the classroom. You might work on research with a professor, take part in a summer internship or study abroad for a semester. Our small class sizes mean your professors will know your name, support your growth and challenge you to think deeper. Along the way, you’ll gain the problem-solving, communication and critical thinking skills that set you up for success wherever your path leads next—whether that’s immediately into the workforce or to graduate school.
