	Welcome from the Dean
	Ralph Meeker, Ph.D. Dean, College of Science Benedictine University Greetings from the College of Science which houses undergraduate programs in the Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematical and Computational Sciences. We also offer graduate programs in exercise physiology (MCEP) and science content and process (MSSCP).						Latest News from the College of Science 11/17/2009 Eight Benedictine students inducted into national honor society in biology More 4/21/2009 New Biology major prepares students for careers in teaching or research More 2/3/2009 Biology department marks 150th anniversary of "Origin of Species" More 9/22/2008 Grant will aid grasp of biophysics for those without calculus background More More CoS News More Academic News College of Science Viewbook College Quick Facts (pdf) College of Science DVD This is a 10 minute video presentation
	New and interesting things are always happening in the College of Science. 31 of our 34 full-time faculty possess a doctoral degree. In addition to their teaching duties, the faculty continue to actively sharpen their professional skills through publishing papers and/or books, attending conferences, presenting papers, participating in workshops, etc. This devotion to their profession is reflected by the success of our students, both while attending Benedictine University and after they graduate. Let us know when you plan to visit our campus. If you are here on a day when classes are in session, arrangements can be made for you to sit-in on a course in your area of interest. We look forward to meeting you. Syllabi and Course Materials
