EDUCATION

Foundational Sciences

The Foundational Sciences Department is committed to the success of all the students at Texas A&M University at Galveston. We offer courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and statistics, many of which are taken by first and second year students. Our department is founded in the belief that these courses often set the bar for a student’s ability to progress through their chosen degree plan.  Our goal is to challenge all of our students in order for them to be successful in the fields they choose. The faculty of FSCI is engaged with our students, our colleagues, and the university as a whole to offer academically excellent and pedagogically innovative classes.
