Real world science

The Division of Natural Sciences prepares its students for careers as science professionals and provides all PLU students a foundation in scientific awareness.
The six departments in the division are biology, chemistry, computer science and computer engineering, geosciences, mathematics and physics.
The classes you take will help you develop an appreciation for the benefits of science and the awareness of its limitations. Courses also strive to place science and technology in its larger socio-cultural context and make connections with other academic disciplines.
Known for its research program opportunities, the Division of Natural Sciences supports one-on-one investigations with faculty in which you will be immersed in all aspects of “real world” science.
The Division of Natural Sciences has state-of-the-art facilities such as the 88,000-square-foot Rieke Science Center, open chemistry and physics labs and the W.M. Keck Observatory.
