About the Natural Sciences Department
Pennsylvania College of Technology's Natural Sciences Department goal is to not only provide students with scientific knowledge, but also to inspire students to wonder and be amazed by the world around them. As far back as Aristotle, humans have sought to understand their world. The need to understand why things behave in a certain way, and trying to link observation with prediction, has always been the catalyst for progress and change. We pride ourselves in small student-to-faculty ratios in all classes. Most students have the same instructor for lecture and lab, and we utilize state-of-the-art equipment in both lecture halls and laboratories.
The Natural Sciences Department is a vital part of the School of Integrated Studies and consists of three major curricular areas:
The department also offers traditional, interdisciplinary (STS), and specialized courses in Geology (GEL), Environmental Science, Physical Science, Astronomy (SCI), Forensic Science (STS), and Weather and Climate (SCI).
Our mission is to broaden students'
- critical thinking, problem-solving and technical skills
- intellectual perspectives
- appreciation for life-long learning
