Majoring in subjects like chemistry, biology, physics or mathematics can open doors to successful careers in medicine, biosciences, technology, finance and beyond. However, talented students need academic support in their first year of college, and for many, that support can make the difference between staying in a science major and choosing to move into a different field.
The transition from high school to college coursework, including rigorous introductory courses, can be a significant adjustment, and students need help from their institutions. The college’s supportive, inclusive learning environments address these challenges and give students the confidence they need to succeed and reach their full potential.
