Explore a vast realm of opportunities for careers in the sciences. For a student with a degree in applied microscopy, biology, chemistry, environmental science, geography or natural sciences from Concordia University Chicago—the possibilities are endless.
Our faculty are experienced scientists and researchers who combine intensive expertise and scientific knowledge, a passion for teaching, and a commitment to providing students with opportunities that enhance learning in and out of the classroom.
 Are you fascinated by maps? Do you like to travel? Do you want to better understand the physical environment? Are you concerned about the impact of people on the physical environment?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, geography, earth science, or environmental studies may be for you.
Biology students can participate in consortium experiences through the university's membership in the Associated Colleges of the Chicago Area (ACCA). In addition, The Chicago Botanical Garden, The Field Museum Of Natural History, The Shedd Aquarium, and The Museum Of Science and Industry are some of the outstanding institution of interest to biology students.
The highly in-demand field of microscopy is for those interested in science, solving problems and analyzing samples on a microscopic scale. Applied Microscopy, offered by Concordia University Chicago in partnership with The McCrone Group and the College of Microscopy, offers an unprecedented opportunity to learn from world leaders in the field.
Chemists, chemistry, and the chemical industry will play central roles in addressing our world's 21st century challenges. The chemistry major at Concordia will prepare you to apply chemistry in the service of humanity and participate in experiences at sites such as Argonne National Laboratory and The Museum Of Science And Industry.

Along with our degree programs and internship opportunities, Concordia science students take advantage of:
- Consortium-type seminars and botany course experiences through the Associated Colleges of the Chicago Area (ACCA). ACCA is an association of 15 liberal arts universities promoting collegiate education in the sciences through its member colleges and government laboratories and institutions such as Argonne National Laboratory and Chicago’s renowned Shedd Aquarium.
- Experiential opportunities through the Concordia University Chicago Student-Operated Undergraduate Laboratory (SOUL) program. For example, Aqualytica is a community outreach water-testing laboratory through which students provide analyses of local water samples—and gain real-world experience in the process.
To learn more about programs through the Department of Natural Sciences at Concordia University Chicago, contact Dr. Anita V. Briedis-Bilsens.
