Integrated Sciences

The Integrated Sciences major is part of the academic program in the Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences (KDIS). The major is currently structured around three global societal and scientific challenges: Health (genomics, systems biology, and health), Brain (brain, learning, and decision), and Planet (climate, energy, and the environment). The Integrated Sciences major aims to provide students with skills and knowledge to engage in research, critically evaluate new results and emerging trends, and reason and communicate about the relationship of science and society. The program seeks to develop strong foundations in the natural science disciplines (biology, chemistry, and physics) combined with computational, data science, and experimental approaches. An Integrated Sciences major is especially appropriate for students interested in scientific research, entrepreneurship and innovation, consulting, policy, and provides outstanding preparation for students who wish to continue on to medical school and other health-related careers.
