SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY


Biology (MS) The program prepares students for careers in the expanding fields of molecular biology, evolution, bioinformatics, genetic engineering, and mathematical and conservation biology. Graduates of the program will be prepared to conduct biological investigations and critically evaluate the research of others. Students will be trained to write and speak effectively in most scientific fields. The program opens the door to careers in clinical research laboratories, industry, teaching, scientific writing and in governmental agencies, such as in the areas of health, environment and parks. The program is also suited for teachers with initial certification in Adolescence Education (Biology) who wish to obtain their professional certification. Additionally, students will be excellent candidates for continuing their education at the doctoral level.


Computer Science (MS) The program serves those students who wish to increase their professional competence for industry, research in development laboratories and business, as well as those students who wish to enter careers in research and teaching. Foundational coursework covers theoretical computer science, operating systems, computer architecture and programming methodology. Students select additional courses based on their own interests. These courses are chosen from a wide range of courses in networks and security, software engineering, multimedia and image processing.


Environmental Science (MS) The program is designed to provide broad interdisciplinary training in those areas of the biological, engineering, physical, chemical and social sciences that are important in solving environmental problems. Graduates are prepared for careers in both governmental agencies and private companies working on such problems as pollution control, environmental impact and urban planning, and for careers in environmental education.
