They stress knowledge of sci- entific principles and laws. Courses attempt to pro- vide a good foundation in the natural sciences and to enhance the student's understanding of mathematics and computer science. These courses are taught in the Associates Science Center which contains laboratory space for both the science and computer students. The biology department, chaired by Dr. Howard Trull, boasts 83 years of combined experience. The department is justifiably proud of its record in send- ing students to graduate school. It has nearly a 100070 acceptance rate for students entering graduate school and an 80070 acceptance rate for those desir- ing to go to medical school. Computer science majors are taught using the lat- est in equipment and find themselves well prepared for the job market, according to department chair- man Allen Walker. The Department of Physical Sci- ences, led by Dr. Eugene Hibbett, offers pre-engi- neering in a dual-degree arrangement with five other institutions. Students have been very successful in transferring to these universities. The Department sponsors a scholarship competition each spring for high school students. W
