Science and mathematics are a vital and dynamic part of Middlebury’s liberal arts curriculum.

Science and Mathematics at Middlebury

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. Middlebury’s science and math departments blend the high-tech facilities and cutting-edge research typically associated with larger universities with the collaborative learning atmosphere of a liberal arts college. 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.
