SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Science, a huge and fascinating field of study, is available to Murphians in several different subjects; among these are Biology. Physics, and Chemistry. Interested students acquire knowledge of organisms, dynamics, and chemical reaction. Technically, courses such as family life, consumer science, and homemaking also fall in the scientific field.
