==Academics== [[File:Saint Vincent College and Basilica.jpg|thumb|View from the entrance, with Basilica and some academic buildings.]] Saint Vincent is organized into four schools; each includes several departments and major and minor programs offering undergraduate or graduate degrees, as well as special programs and public service outreach activities. Each school has its own Dean who works closely with students, faculty, and prospective students and a Council of Advisors composed of representatives of business, industry, and academia to advise and direct policy and programs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stvincent.edu/schools | title=Schools | publisher=Saint Vincent College |access-date=October 3, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527090759/http://www.stvincent.edu/schools |archive-date=May 27, 2010 }}</ref> ===Alex G.

Saint Vincent College, retrieved 2019-04-22</ref> ===The Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Science, Mathematics, and Computing=== The school was formed in 2004 and includes the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computing and Information Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. Majors are also offered in Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, and Environmental Science. Teacher certification may be obtained in biology, chemistry, environmental education, mathematics, and physics. Cooperative programs with other institutions of higher education enable students to pursue degrees in specific engineering fields, actuarial science, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, and physician assistant. In addition to its general engineering degree, the college offers a five-year cooperative liberal arts and engineering program. Students spend three years at St. Vincent, fulfilling core requirements and prerequisites for an engineering major, then two years at the engineering college. Upon completion of this coursework students are guaranteed acceptance at [[Penn State University]], the [[University of Pittsburgh]] and [[The Catholic University of America.]] Under this program, the student receives a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Vincent and a Bachelor of Science degree from the engineering college. In 2019 the college entered an agreement with [[Carlow University]] to offer a degree in Nursing on Saint Vincent's campus. Students in this program remain enrolled at Saint Vincent for two years and then transfer to Carlow for the remaining two years of nursing courses and students ultimately receive a Carlow nursing degree. However, all courses and labs are administered at Saint Vincent and students remain in Latrobe throughout their degree.
