  • What our students have to say...

    Before I was an MMGer I was a Biological Sciences major. It was a much broader major and not quite what I was looking for. When I switched into MMG, there were so many classes that interested me. In my opinion, MMG offers the best classes out of any science major. Also, the teachers are very helpful and friendly. Many of them go by their first names and they know you by your first name! You will not feel like a number, you will feel like part of a special (slightly nerdy) group
