- Here, in the College
of Arts and Sciences,
our students are curious about the world,
eager to engage it,
and ready to make a difference.
Many students here at UD
are pursuing their undergraduate degrees
by studying in the natural sciences.
We offer over 15 majors in these fields,
all of which lead to a
Bachelor of Science degree.
These are very popular majors
at UD because they prepare
students for a wide range of careers
and not just for our first job, but truly
a lifetime of personal and
professional fulfillment.
- For my career now, I can
see that people who've learned
to form a hypothesis, to
ask the right question
are the people that really advance well.
And so, that undergraduate
research experience
was very valuable and I know
that something that UD offers
to many students is that
opportunity to get your hands
dirty in the laboratory to
really understand not just about
the theory of science,
but how science really works in the lab.
- Bachelor of Sciences at
the University of Dayton
cover a diverse range
of academic disciplines.
Majoring in the natural
sciences provides you
with an outstanding four-year
educational experience
and prepares you for
great career opportunities
when you graduate.
Students in the natural sciences
excel in problem solving
and critical thinking skills
as well as the ability
to work with diverse teams.
Each student has the opportunity
to work with new information,
acquiring it, making sense of it
and communicating it to others.
Within our diverse academic
programs and research centers,
students have a variety of
mentorship opportunities
to conduct interdisciplinary scholarship
and work on solutions to the
world's most pressing problems.
- We accomplish this
with small class sizes
and talented faculty committed to you
and you intellectual growth.
- [Minh] Student engagement
with other team members
outside the classroom has
been consistently found
to promote student persistence,
educational aspirations
and degree completion.
- With superior research
facilities and a strong foundation
in science fundamentals,
undergraduate opportunities
to work in labs on funded research
under the guidance of faculty mentors.
- We combine excellent
classroom instruction
with high impact experiences
like internships,
faculty-mentored research, study abroad,
campus leadership and
service opportunities,
all of which provide that
well-rounded education
that employers and graduate schools value.
- UD as an undergrad.
I, something I didn't even think about,
I didn't even have any idea that research
was a possibility for
me to pursue as a career
and that it was happening
here on this campus.
For undergraduates to be
able to do research regularly
on campus, where at some places
it's only summer research experiences
that are available to them,
it's kind of a unique situation
that allows for them to develop and grow
and even for those who
don't wanna pursue research
as a career, it gives them something
that they can talk about when they go
to like medical school interviews
or for interviews for different jobs
and everything, that they
have experience doing
research within the lab.
- Our research reputation
and profile continues to grow
thanks to many dedicated researchers
in the College of Arts and Sciences,
working to explain and
solve the world's problems
to advance the common good.
- These opportunities are
available to any student
studying in the natural
sciences, regardless of major.
- The College of Arts and
Sciences also prepares you
for the deeper dimension of life.
Our Catholic and Marianist
focus on vocation
helps you match your gifts and talents
with the world's needs.
Employers want graduates
to know about the world
beyond the college campus.
All students at UD should have access
to experiential learning as part
of their UD Marianist education
for the whole person,
mind, hands, and heart.
This means first-hand knowledge
about the working world
and life in other countries and cultures.
Inter-cultural competencies
are among the top three things
employers are looking
for in graduates today.
ISE Summer Core allow
us to work with faculty
across discipline to
address emerging challenges
affecting populations
on a local, regional,
and global level through
research and discovery.
- Undergraduate and graduate students
get authentic research experience.
We train to become the next
generation of scientists
using integrated approaches
to solve broad challenges
of societal relevance.
- At UD, we can help build you experience
and build your network.
Career Services offers a
wide variety of services
to help you achieve your career goals.
We can assist you in
obtaining an internship
or a cooperative education experience
before you graduate.
- UD Flyers who have a background
in the natural sciences
have a leg up in terms
of talking about those field experiences
and saying not only do I
have a really high quality
classroom experience,
but I've also been in the field.
I've also worked in this area
and I can talk about that
and talk about how I can
combine my classroom learning
with what I've done
outside of the classroom
to be more successful coming
out of the university.
- I'm proud to say our
approach is working.
Our latest survey of recent
graduates finds that 96%
are employed, enrolled in graduate school,
or participating in some service program
within six months of graduation.
We're proud of that statistic of course
and the hundreds of individual
success stories behind it.
- The College of Arts and
Sciences give you the knowledge,
skills, and experience
to follow your passion,
serve the common good, and
succeed in a career you love.

still, visit our campus
to begin you life long journey here at UD.
