The program faculty are super supportive of our studies and of our growth here at Loyola. Not only do they engage with us in the classroom, but they are available outside the classroom to help us navigate our future career paths. When deciding which courses to pick for this current semester, Dr. Olsen was super helpful and provided insight on which courses would be most beneficial for me to take since I was deciding between math and computer science… If not for her help, I would not have the option to double major if I choose to.

New Name, Same Program
Loyola's CPaMS Scholars Program is now the Hyman Science Scholars Program, thanks to the philanthropic support of a generous foundation whose leader has a passion for the sciences that will inspire the next generation of Loyola students. The only change is the name! Just like CPaMS Scholars, Hyman Science Scholars are academically talented students majoring in computer science, mathematics, statistics, data science, or physics. Students benefit from a cohort model through which they gain peer support and faculty mentorship, extracurricular enrichment, internship opportunities and career guidance in STEM-related fields.Contact Us
