自然科学学士.A.

The Shimer School Natural Sciences Major revolves around a series of questions into fundamental aspects of the natural world and methods devised to investigate them. 经典和主要的当代宇宙学著作, 生物学, 化学与物理, 以及对其发展的历史分析, 构成自然科学课程的核心顺序.  学生 come to know and understand these texts and the direct inquiries they guide partly through individual reflection, 同时也通过合作实验, 小班讨论和密集写作, 论文和实验报告的同行编辑和修订. 而每门课程侧重于一个单一的主题探究, the Natural Sciences sequence as a whole pushes students to grapple not only with the complexities within seemingly simple questions, 还要理解更大的社会, cultural and historical 上下文 in which natural scientific knowledge is developed.

Breadth and depth of knowledge and skills characterize graduates of the Shimer School.  Through the core curriculum of the Shimer School they immerse themselves in major classic and contemporary works of human expression, 社会思想和科学知识与实践.  Their broad familiarity with fundamental ideas and methods across the Liberal Arts provides the foundation on which they build increasingly refined understanding and skills in more specialized courses in chosen disciplines taught across 中北书院.  Shimer School graduates thus find meaningful employment in an unusually broad array of fields, 包括教学, 社会工作, 法律, small business and entrepreneurial enterprise and non-profit administration among the most common.
