The Natural and Applied Sciences program provides students with a liberal arts education emphasizing the basic sciences and marketable lab/field skills. Besides the traditional Bachelors of Arts degree, the major includes several specific pathways that can also lead to Teacher Certification or transitions into the Masters of Occupational Therapy program while attaining a BA in Natural and Applied Sciences.
