Teaching in the Science Faculty commenced at Mona in 1949 with students in the Departments of Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Zoology. The first eleven graduates appeared in 1952 and by 2000 over 9,000 graduates had been produced. Today, the Science Faculty is among the largest in the University with teaching in Biochemistry, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Meteorology, Physics, and Zoology.
Most undergraduate students in the Faculty are full-time students and there are over 1,500 at Mona. There are also a substantial number of part-time students. Relationships with Tertiary level Colleges are increasing and students at such Colleges in Antigua, The Bahamas and St. Lucia read the Part I courses of our Faculty. Community Colleges in Jamaica offer our Preliminary Courses.
In addition to undergraduate teaching, postgraduate teaching and research form an important aspect of the work of the Faculty.
The Faculty offers Diploma, MSc, MPhil and PhD programmes in almost all Departments. |
