Undergraduate Degree Programs

Our undergraduate programs in the physical sciences, life sciences, and mathematics are designed to prepare graduates for their next step—be it further education or participation in the global workforce.

Students in any major can apply to medical school or other professional health programs and receive special guidance from our PreMed and PreHealth Advising Program.

Combined Majors

The College of Science offers more than 120 combined majors, which are unique, blended programs designed to allow you to explore multiple fields, all within one, integrated academic plan. A combined major comprises at least nine courses from two single majors, plus one or more integrative “bridge” courses.

I presented my abstract On Differentiable Correlation Functions at the American Astronomical Society Winter Session Meeting in Baltimore, MD. My work is important because it enables gradient-based optimization, enabling cosmologists to relate correlations to astrophysical model parameters. In my current extensions to this work, I have shown that it enables a new class of uncertainty quantification and alternatively adds functionality to other machine learning approaches.

Those who attended my talk seemed to take great interest, asking if my algorithm had applications outside of correlation functions to which I answered yes! My favorite session that I attended was about the Habitable Worlds Observatory and the continued search for extraterrestrial life. My prior work on astronomical imaging was done in the context of weak lensing but can also be applied to exoplanet literature, which means it’s more widely applicable and impactful than I initially thought!
