Science and Mathematics
About the Program
Welcome to Tallahassee State College's Division of Science and Mathematics. The division offers a variety of science and mathematics courses designed to meet the needs of students in the general Associate in Arts transfer degree, as well as those enrolled in various Associate in Science programs.
Science
Science is the study of the behavior and structure of the physical and natural world via observation and experiment.
In the area of science, we offer general education courses as well as those for students majoring in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, earth & environmental sciences, health education & nutrition, wellness and physics.
Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantities and space as abstract concepts or as applied to other disciplines.
In addition to providing Developmental Math courses, we offer three general tracks:
- Science, technology, engineering and math majors (STEM)
- Business and marketing majors
- All other liberal arts majors

Learn MoreSTEM Center
Students in a STEM program have use of Dr. Lei Wang STEM Center, a multipurpose study space for students majoring in STEM. STEM majors can utilize resources in the space and network with other STEM students and faculty.
Learn MoreScholarships
The Division of Science and Mathematics pioneered the honoring of SM faculty to help supports students studying science or advanced mathematics-related fields. These scholarships, several of which were established over 20 years ago, have been endowed almost entirely by generous donations or royalties obtained from work performed by our faculty.
Many of the SM faculty honored through scholarship were longtime faculty members who taught classes in disciplines ranging from biology and chemistry to various areas of mathematics. Each of these faculty members was well-respected across the College and served as a mentor and role model for both faculty and students.
