Where Our Students Transfer

Students in our Liberal Arts and Sciences program go on to earn a bachelor's degree from colleges such as:

• Cornell University
• Nazareth University
• St. John Fisher University
• SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Hands-On Lab Skills

In class, you'll conduct science experiments in our biology, chemistry, physics, and cell culture labs. Propose hypotheses and test them through a series of applied learning projects, such as DNA sequencing. Outside the classroom, you can work with professional tutors and collaborate with peers in the Science Incubator.

Explore Your Interests

A Liberal Arts degree gives you the flexibility to explore a number of academic interests before fully committing to one area of study. An estimated 75-85% of all college students switch their area of study at least once before they graduate, so it's important to give yourself time to make that choice with confidence.

Taking exploratory courses early in your college career helps you graduate on time with a degree that matches your personal and professional goals. Learn more about how to make the most out of your undecided semesters.
