General Information
The School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) provides multidisciplinary education in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics that prepares students to explore, understand, and engage the world through the lens of Christian faith. The School is defined by dedicated and highly trained faculty who are professionally active and committed to innovative teaching, meaningful scholarship, and a student-centered approach to learning. Through rigorous programs in biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, engineering, physics, data science, and mathematics, students develop theoretical insight, practical skills, and a deep appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the created world. We extend the mission of Point Loma Nazarene University to engage and challenge minds, to form and model character, and to view service as an expression of faith.
