全国没有其他大学能像我们这样，在科学教学方面有如此深度的专业知识，让学生们有不同的学习方式.

学生们说，我们的教师通过亲身实践的教学方法，结合Landmark College的学习策略和在课程中使用辅助技术，“让科学变得生动起来”.

教师们将不同的学术背景带入课堂, including specializations in human physiology, environmental studies, human ecology, biology, biology education, chemistry, and biochemistry.

According to the National Student Clearinghouse, 目前，近五分之一的地标学院毕业生继续学习与科学相关的专业.

科学学院已经参与了与佛蒙特州遗传学网络合作的研究机会, 佛蒙特州建立了促进竞争性研究的项目:EPSCoR(都来自佛蒙特大学), 以及普特尼保护委员会等当地机构.

这些项目为学生提供了与森林生态学相关领域的个人研究机会, wildlife management and tracking, long-term ecological data analysis, aquatic pollution, genetic disorders, and animal physiology.

其他研究和课外活动包括创建和建立“美国树校园”地位，以及在校园和邻近自然区域开发长期生态监测点.

In addition to the mentoring and research activities, student clubs involved in sustainability, gardening, 环境都是在过去的几年里形成的，并且越来越受欢迎.
