Hands-On Research
Teams of undergraduate and graduate students pursue research with faculty mentors. Students present their findings at national and international conferences and publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Real-World Experiences
Whether students are in the classroom, lab or field, they have the tools they need to construct hypotheses, design experiments, collect and analyze data and solve difficult problems.
Teacher Education
Faculty experts provide leadership in the scholarship of teaching and learning, preparing future educators with K-12 teacher preparation programs and coursework.
Modern Labs
The renovated second floor of McCarthy Hall includes new classrooms and teaching labs, faculty research labs, student study spaces and computer labs. Labs and classrooms are stocked with technology and equipment that students use to explore relevant questions and gain hands-on experiences.
