强调探究性学习方法

The STEM department’s instructional philosophy of experiential learning allows students at every level to develop critical thinking skills while providing broad, deep and state-of-the-art training in its disciplines.

Small class sizes and numerous opportunities for hands-on learning are key features of the Landmark College STEM department.

广泛的自然科学课程, 计算机科学, and mathematics are at the heart of the STEM department. All of these courses focus on both a comprehension and application of abstract concepts, 熟练掌握专业术语, which are emphasized through inquiry-based learning methods.

A.S. and B.S. 生命科学

Every student in life science becomes a member of our community of scholars, working closely together with faculty and peers to advance the field of biology and develop a lifelong interest in life science.

Both life science degrees play to the strengths of our student population by embedding practical science skills throughout the curriculum.

Unlike the traditional approach of separating lecture and lab sections of courses, Landmark College lab course integrate those experiences in a modular approach that provides opportunities for students to construct knowledge for themselves.

A.S. and B.S. 计算机科学

Both computer science degrees have an emphasis on programming and software engineering.

The A.S. degree provides a general introduction to computer science, starting out with programming in Java.

The B.S. degree, designed using the ACM Guidelines for Computing Programs, provides students with the skill set necessary to work within a broad area of computer science, 包括软件工程, 网络, 网络编程, 移动应用程序编程, 网络科学.

  • 2016年秋季, Landmark College received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant in support of the Access to Innovative Education: STEM Opportunities for Students with Learning Disabilities (AIE-STEM) (NSF 1643326).

    This grant allows the College to award scholarship and additional support to students enrolled in both computer science and life science programs. Recipients are considered Landmark College STEM Scholars and are assigned to a faculty mentor assisting in research activities.

    除了, students work directly with 职业生涯的连接 counselors who help students to build their resumes, 申请实习和工作.

    STEM Scholars attend regular meetings with their mentor and participate in cohort-building activities such as meetings with special guest speakers, 实习现场参观, and other activities designed to further develop a strong cohort and build independence in the scholars.
