As a mathematics major, you can join with our faculty to explore areas in pure and applied mathematics—from cryptology, graph theory, and real analysis to logic, statistical methods, and applications of differential equations. You can also work toward licensure as a secondary mathematics teacher. Or study actuarial science and work toward becoming an actuary. We offer enough electives for you to earn a minor or double major in another field, or to take on an internship.

Mechanical engineering majors learn to design, develop and manufacture machines that produce, transmit and use power. Wherever machines are produced or used, there are mechanical engineers. The mechanical engineering program stresses lab work, internships, and a focus on solving real-world problems.

The neuroscience major exposes students to a rapidly growing field at the intersection of biology and psychology. Majors undertake interdisciplinary learning at the earliest stages of their undergraduate careers, drawing knowledge from a variety of specialties. Neuroscience graduates effectively master the human nervous system from cellular, molecular, biochemical, cognitive, and behavioral perspectives through a program emphasizing a strong foundation in the natural sciences.

In your Design Arts major, a new program administered through the College of Professional Schools’ School of Architecture + Art, you’ll integrate theory and application to unify art, craft and technology to master stone arts.

You’ll learn contemporary design production techniques, which blend traditional arts with modern technical expertise, such as computation and computer numeric control machinery. You’ll also learn to market what you make by complementing your core study with personal finance/business and general education courses. Your junior year will include a semester abroad in CityLAB:Berlin; your senior year will include an internship or apprenticeship and a capstone project.

Upon completing your Bachelor of Science in Education, you’ll receive elementary licensure for grades K-6 or secondary education licensure for grades 7-12. Our program requires all students to have an additional major. Students pursuing elementary education may select from the majority of majors offered at Norwich University. Students pursuing secondary education must major in mathematics.

Electrical engineers have the greatest variety of devices to work with of any field of engineers. They work with nanocomponents, so small that you need a microscope to see them, and with megacomponents that are so large they need to be housed in buildings the size of a football field.

Computer engineering is interdisciplinary, bridging electrical engineering and computer science to bring hardware and software together. Computer software engineers first analyze the needs of users and companies, then design, construct, test and maintain the necessary software or systems through knowledge of electronics, programming and coding.

The program stresses lab work, internships and a focus on solving real-world problems. Majors are encouraged to form relationships with colleagues and professors in other departments and universities to better understand the dynamics of real-world projects. Whether you join an Antarctica-based science expedition or work to improve a NASA minisatellite, increase the efficiency of solar panels, or revive a hydropowered electrical plant, you’ll apply the knowledge you gain in the classroom to solving grand challenges of the 21st century.

An English degree is excellent preparation for many professions and occupations, including law, medicine, teaching, journalism, communications, business, government and military service. Many of our English students pursue post-graduate study. Norwich also offers an English minor that will enhance any course of study.

Students are offered abundant hands-on experience in problem solving. Many courses include studies of active environmental problems. Norwich University is in the valley floor of the Dog River and surrounded by wide biological and geological diversity within walking distance. This setting lends itself to our program’s emphasis on outdoor fieldwork. All Environmental Science students take a pair of capstone courses involving participation in original research, often coordinated with faculty research and involving travel.

Exercise science provides majors with a fundamental background in human physiology and a solid foundation in the natural sciences. Students acquire scientific literacy related to the biological and exercise sciences. Majors demonstrate their competency through written and oral expression. Exercise science majors conduct laboratory research, learning hands-on experimental methodology, approach, design, and statistical analysis.
