Program overview
The study of a God-made world
This program is for the student captivated by how the world works — the logic of a proof, the story a dataset tells, the wonder of the human body, the balance of an ecosystem. Whether you’re preparing for a health profession, laying groundwork for further study, or simply following a deep curiosity, your mentor will help you build a plan that moves from strong foundations into the areas that fascinate you most.
These are practical, entry-level degrees you can complete online. Lab-based courses use interactive virtual labs and guided at-home components, so you can do real, rigorous science from where you are — no need to relocate. And through it all, we reflect on what it means to study the works of a wise and generous Creator.
What you’ll explore
- Mathematics — calculus, linear algebra, and applied mathematics
- Physics — mechanics, energy, and modern physics (with virtual labs)
- Statistics, mathematical modeling, and reasoning with data
- The health and life sciences, from anatomy to ecology
- Environmental science, stewardship, and a Christian view of creation
Sample courses & study modules
Your plan is assembled from modules like these — chosen and sequenced with your mentor:
- Calculus I, II & III
- Linear Algebra
- Differential Equations
- Mathematical Modeling
- Probability & Statistics
- General Physics I & II (with virtual lab)
- Modern Physics
- General Biology & Chemistry (with virtual labs)
- Environmental Science
- Science, Faith & Creation
“Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.” — Psalm 111:2
Undergraduate research
Here, science isn’t just something you read about — it’s something you do. Every student is encouraged to take on a mentored research project, and your studies build toward a capstone in your area of interest. Motivated undergraduates can even apply for a student research grant from the Day Lily Research Fund and present their work at our annual online research symposium — hands-on experience that strengthens graduate-school applications and, more importantly, forms you as a careful, curious scholar.
Degrees offered in this area
- B.S. in Mathematics
- B.S. in Applied Mathematics
- B.S. in Physics
- B.S. in Health Sciences
- B.S. in Environmental Studies
Advanced degrees — an M.S. in Mathematics and a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) — are in development for future terms.
Who it’s for
Future nurses and health professionals building pre-health foundations, educators, aspiring researchers, and lifelong learners who want to understand the natural world deeply and faithfully. Students drawn to research will also find a home with our Research Fund.
Where it can lead
Graduates use these degrees to prepare for further study or a health profession, to teach, and to live with a deeper, better-grounded understanding of God’s world. Hands-on, lab-intensive science tracks are among the areas we’re actively growing.
