1987-1988 Academic Catalog

142 Professors: Donald P. Baumann, Chairman; L. E. Eimers, Larry S. Helmick, John E. Silvius, Daniel E. Wetzel Associate Professors: Edwin S. Braithwaite, Dennis R. Flentge, Lawrence N. Killian, Terry L. Phipps Assistant Professor: Douglas J. Miller Part-Time Faculty: Austin D. Elmore, Professor Emeritus, Linda Comfort The Department of Science and Mathematics is comprised of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. This department aims to acquaint the student with the field of science and to aid him in developing clear and orderly thinking processes through the use of the techniques of science and mathematics. The department seeks to help the student to appreciate the facts of creation as studied in the physical and natu– ral sciences. The department has as objectives: to prepare students for graduate study or for further professional study in the health sci– ences; to prepare secondary teachers of science with a Biblical perspective of science; to serve in other types of employment. Experience has shown a major in mathematics to be unique prepa– ration for seminary. Requirements for Major in Biology.
