Science and mathematics are a vital and dynamic part of Middlebury’s liberal arts curriculum.
Coming soon.
Students who want the best in STEM education will find it here, as well as a holistic education that fosters a deep and integrative approach to any field of study they choose.

With 11 departments and programs focused on math and both the physical and life sciences, Middlebury not only has a broad range of ways to study the sciences, it gives students the freedom to explore them all.
