The Physics Department, in partnership with the Departments of Computer Science, Chemistry, Philosophy, and Mathematics offers a Certificate in Computational Physical Sciences.

Clare Booth Luce Scholarship Program

As one of only ten colleges and universities selected in 2008 to receive funding from the Clare Boothe Luce Program of the Henry Luce Foundation, Saint Anselm College was awarded $350,000 to provide full two-year scholarships to four outstanding women in the Class of 2012. Selected in their sophomore year and majoring in biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, cooperative engineering, environmental science, mathematics, natural science or physics, the chosen grant recipients will receive support to cover tuition, room, board, and fees during their junior and senior years.
