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, integrated environmental sciences, geological sciences, mathematics, medical technology, physics, and psychology. Bachelor of Arts programs are available in biological sciences, chemistry, geological sciences, mathematics, and psychology. The college also offers master’s and doctoral degrees in certain programs. Inter-disciplinary baccalaureate programs are offered by some departments, such as environmental sciences, geological sciences, mathematics, and physics. Preprofessional programs for students planning to teach science or mathematics in grades 7–12 are available in biological sciences, integrated environmental sciences, geological sciences, mathematics and statistics, and physics.
Dual majors programs are available in some departments (e.g., chemistry-business); 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.
With prior approval by the appropriate departments, it may be possible for students to get credit for research done on individual projects at any of the national laboratories under the Science and Engineering Research Semester (SERS) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Office of Energy Research. Participating departments are biological sciences, mathematics and statistics, and physics.
