The School of Mathematics & Sciences
The keys to explore the universe
The School of Mathematics and Sciences at Norwich University provides the tools to understand and explore an astonishing range of human knowledge.
From the principles of mathematical deduction to the natural world and the wonders of the universe, our faculty members provide knowledge, experience and guidance to all students. Through lecture, laboratory, and clinical settings, we prepare students to pursue advanced study, perform successfully in their careers and become responsible citizens in a democratic society.
The school is divided into seven departments: Biology and Physical Education, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geology and Environmental Science, Mathematics, Nursing, Physics and Sports Medicine.
There are a variety of major- and minor-degree programs available. Norwich also offers a Teacher Education program to interested students.
