Mission
The primary mission of the Southern Wesleyan University Science Division is to prepare students for vocations and graduate education relative to the disciplines of biology, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics. To that end, the division offers a variety of majors and degrees. Students are encouraged to view their studies in the various disciplines from a Christian world view as faculty emphasize faith and learning in the various disciplines. Students are encouraged to utilize their knowledge and skills in serving God and humankind. Students are also encouraged to prepare to confront globally important issues and a rapidly changing world with skills in communication, information processing, analysis, synthesis, and problem solving. Science Division graduates are expected to be well-prepared academically, to be committed to exemplary ethical standards, and to be comfortable with being identified as Christians in their chosen vocations.
