SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Whether you are research and graduate studies bound (hello, Doctor!) or looking for a career that applies science and math to the world’s problems, the academic rigor of our programs will see you well prepared. One of the college’s most popular programs, kinesiology, and its exercise science concentration is a part of our science curriculum. We’ve recently restructured our science program, so that biology is our overarching program, then students can choose from biology, biostatistics or pre-professional concentrations.

“I struggled with my mental health as a teen and my internal motivation was to help kids like me. Juveniles are so misunderstood and there is so much stigma. I want to be the person I needed.” — Kate Johnson ’23, Criminology and Psychology

Possible Career Paths:

We have students that will stack majors to create a path for themselves. We have had students take exercise science and a pedagogy minor in order to be a high school coach. One that’s been popular lately is exercise science and psychology to go into sports psychology which is a relatively new field. Regardless of how you put them together, careers in science and mathematics are plentiful!

A new biology concentration is biostatistics. This field is in big demand. These students not only get great jobs, but they are also making a difference in the world by

Possible Career Paths: Our programs are interrelated and integrated, so combining multiple programs for greater benefit is easy. For no additional cost or time. This gives students a broader tool set and knowledge for what comes next, be that career or graduate studies.

“Beyond the classroom knowledge and the experiential learning, The Woods’ teachings carry through the threads of spirituality. And by spirituality, I mean the idea of being at peace with yourself. If you spend a lot of time with people with terrible problems and don’t have a strong sense of self, it will weigh you down.” — Louis Reeves, Assistant Professor

“Here, it’s not just about degrees with skills and experiential learning; it’s a complete package. Our criminology students will gather evidence at crime scenes to produce court-worthy documents. We bring a detective in to share different controlled substances to our addiction counseling students. If a student shows a research interest, they’ll conduct a full-scale research project from research design, the approval process, data collection, data analysis and public presentation of results. The Woods helps students flourish on their path of individual program development.”

“Many schools say they are students centered, but I have faculty members that literally spend hours in the evenings helping their students. You have to try to not be successful here. There are so many people trying to connect you to help and set you up to ensure you succeed. The support systems are extraordinary.”
