College of Science and Mathematics

The Department of Aerospace Sciences is the Air Force ROTC program at CSU.  The primary goal is to prepare cadets for commissioning as 2nd Lieutenants in the United States Air Force. The curriculum is designed to develop leadership and management skills, communication skills, military ethics awareness and physical conditioning in order to be a successful leader.

The Palmetto Battalion Army ROTC Detachment is one of the largest ROTC battalions in the country and commissions between 70-100 cadets yearly. We offer the opportunity for students at The Citadel, Charleston Southern University, the College of Charleston, and the Medical University of South Carolina to commission as an Active Duty, National Guard, or Reserve component officer.

Computer and Information Sciences
We have a dedicated faculty who share the philosophy that involved students learn best. Consequently most computer courses are taught in a laboratory setting where each student is engaged interactively with the computer.

Kinesiology
The Department of Kinesiology's primary goal is to prepare future physical education teachers and athletic trainers. Our curriculum is designed to develop students' cognitive competencies while exposing the student to a wide range of skill areas.

Biology
The Department of Biology at CSU offers an undergraduate major and minor in biology. Individuals wishing to teach biology on the secondary level must complete a broad field program in science education and a minor in secondary education.

Mathematics
At CSU, the emphasis in mathematics is on actively doing mathematics rather than passively watching it being done. Classes for mathematics majors are typically small, and the courses focus on developing conceptualization and analytical thought processes.

Physical Sciences
The Physical Science Department is committed to providing majors and minors with experiences that will prepare them to be successful in professional schools, graduate schools, or industry.
