work at regional and national professional meetings and in publications.\u00a0 The School is a leader in sponsoring activities for Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, and in involving students both in research and in lectures by national and international authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The College&#8217;s Cooperative Education Program also provides opportunities for science and mathematics students to work in real life environments.\u00a0 Under the joint supervision of a scientist at the work-place and a TAS faculty member, co-op students earn degree credits while earning money.\u00a0 A strong internship program (where students can earn degree credits for work done on a volunteer basis) is also available.<\/p>\n<p>Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the School&#8217;s student organizations:\u00a0 the Bioinformatics Club, the Biology Club, the Chemistry Club, the Computer Science Club, the Math Club, the Nursing Student Organization, the Physics\/Engineering Physics Club, and the Pre-Med\/Pre-Health Club. Please see the School of TAS website under &#8220;Clubs\/Students&#8221; for more information about the clubs&#8217; meetings, lectures, trips, and other activities.<\/p>\n<p>The School of TAS also requires that all students meet a core curriculum in mathematics and Science in Cultural Perspective (SCP), a program of courses designed to foster an appreciation and understanding of the historical, philosophical, ethical, and social contexts of scientific and technological development.\u00a0 Students must complete at least two SCP courses or one SCP course and a college level mathematics course with prerequisites to graduate from the School.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"row colSet\">\n\n<div class=\"sColumn col-sm-12 col-md-12 \">\n<h4 class=\"facultyListing\">Related Links<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/careercenter\/exploration\/\">Cahill Career Center: Career Pathways<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sColumn col-sm-12 col-md-12 \">\n<h4 class=\"facultyListing\">Convening Group Websites<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bioinformatics.ramapo.edu\/\">Bioinformatics Major Group<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/biology\/\">Biology Major Group<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Environmental Science Major Group<\/li>\n<li>Mathematics Major Group<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/nursing\/\">Nursing Program Website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1395","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
