Overview

Rigorous. Interdisciplinary. Pre-professional. The Natural Sciences major at Fordham University prepares you for a wide variety of careers in the life sciences, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, research, and teaching.

You’ll study biology, chemistry, and physics, immunology, physiology, and genetics, among other subjects. You’ll join our faculty in research projects on campus and at renowned institutions. You’ll also design and present your own research.

We integrate the theory and practice of science to provide a framework for exploring questions of ethics. As part of a Jesuit university, we strongly believe in the importance of using education to help others—and to develop the self.
