该系设有生物科学专业以及化学，物理和环境可持续性的未成年人（与魏斯曼艺术与科学学院和齐克林商学院的其他系合作），以及自然科学的临时专业以及可以设计用于解决特定知识兴趣或职业目标的自然科学副修。通过在教室内外发生的经验，教育部努力提供充满机遇和挑战并促进对科学学习方法的理解的教育和研究经验。学生可以从小班授课和课程中受益，这些课程可以利用整个城市的自然和历史景点。
The Department houses the Biological Sciences major and minors in Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Sustainability (in collaboration with other departments in the Weissman School for Arts and Science and the Zicklin School of business), as well as an ad hoc major in the Natural Sciences and a Natural Sciences minor that can be designed to address specific intellectual interests or career objectives. Through experiences that occur in and out of the classroom, the Department strives to provide educational and research experiences that are rich with opportunities and challenges and that foster an understanding of the scientific method of learning. Students benefit from small class sizes and courses that take advantage of natural and historical sites throughout the city.
