Transylvania\u2019s science majors  \u2014 including biology, chemistry and physics \u2014 prepare students for traditional and emerging fields of study. Students in these majors will develop their problem-solving skills, participate in research with faculty and engage major issues facing the world, laying a strong foundation for graduate studies and a successful scientific career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We stress content as well as critical thinking, problem-solving and data analysis.<\/em><\/p>\nBelinda Sly, associate professor of biology<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We give each student a lot of attention at Transylvania, and in a field like chemistry that’s really important<\/em>.<\/p>\nBob Rosenberg, professor of chemistry<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

 A lot of our students have the upper hand once they get to graduate school because they\u2019ve already been in the lab. At larger schools, most students wouldn\u2019t have had a chance to do this type of research. <\/em><\/p>\nJamie Day, professor of physics<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
