Prepare Future Leaders Through Integrated Sciences

Now more than ever, leadership requires a thorough grounding in the sciences. CMC has placed a priority on raising the critical, technical, and scientific fluency of all students to ensure their ability to lead in a modern economy — with general education and interdisciplinary study in the natural sciences, social sciences, computer science, and data science — and supporting faculty and students as they conduct research that will shape the future.

  • We will prepare future leaders through integrated sciences by raising the critical technical and scientific fluency of all students and ensuring their ability to lead within a modern economy.
  • We will invest in a new integrated sciences program, buoyed by interdisciplinary connections with the humanities and social sciences and steeped in computational approaches.
  • We will house the program in an iconic new facility that will allow us to fully realize the campus master plan, connecting the North Mall, providing a “front door” to the campus, and facilitating collaboration, and create adaptable spaces for student‐centric and hands‐on learning.
