Department of Supportive Sciences
| Overview | The Department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, University of Petra, was established at the time of establishment of the University in 1991 to be part of the Faculty of science, which in addition to it was consisting of Department of Chemistry and Department of Math. And Computer science.
The aim of establishing the Department then was to strengthen the fundamentals of basic sciences, such as Physics and Biology for the scientific majors at the University.
In the year 2001, the Department of Math. was cancelled and the Dept. of Basic sciences became responsible for Math courses.
Today, the Department is responsible for the Math. and Physics courses required for majors in the Faculty of Pharmacy, Architecture, Information Technology and Arts and Sciences.

| Vision | | The Department intends to be the home of the basic sciences at Petra University. |
|
| Mission | msion of the department is to realize the above vision and those of the college and the univesity by:
1- preparing students to enter their specializations smoothly.
2- promoting mathematics and physics within the context of a liberal education.
3- providing students with the means for clear , creative , informed and critical scientific thinking.
4- stimulating a passion for continous learning and for various modes of reasioning.
|
|
| Objectives | The Department will spend every effort to have the above vision and mission realized through achieving the following objectives :
1. provide an up to date, stimulating and effective learning in the basic mathematical and physical sciences, for students in the university, that conform with the highest established international standards.
2. provide students with essential and sufficient background in Math. and in Physics as required by their departments.
3. allow students to enjoy the beauty (and the necessity) of Math. and Physics in life.
4. keep up the highest followed standards applied internationally in equipping students with excellent scientific backgrounds in Math. and in Physics.
5. enforce the FACT that Math. and Physics are usually considered as indicators of the success of scientific student in his / her undergraduate (and/or graduate) studies.
6. make sure of the continuation of applying high standards of evaluation and grading so that students are filtered at an early stage before they are enrolled in their respective majors.
7. enforce the necessity and the advantage of having multidisciplinary education that enriches the analytical capabilities of the graduates and which helps them lead a successful life in this complex modern world.
About the forthcoming objectives; the Department anticipates to open new specializations. It has proposed to open a major in Mathematics and another in Biology. It is now studying the feasibility of opening a major in Computer Electronics. |
