Analytical Science, B.S.
|
|
Students majoring in this program will be prepared to work as chemists, physicists, or data science specialists for industry and state and federal scientific and healthcare agencies. They will also be well prepared to pursue masters and doctoral degrees in chemistry, physics, engineering, or medicine. This program provides superior training for students seeking to work as physical or biological scientists and for those seeking to apply computer science principles and practices to solving cutting-edge problems in the sciences and medicine. The program also provides a strong background in mathematics and computational physics, chemistry, and biology aimed at preparing students to work in and across as many sectors as possible. Graduates of the program will be very broadly trained to enter industry and government workforces in traditional technical positions available to physicists, chemists, biologists, data scientists, and computer support or information systems specialists. This combination of traditional physical and life sciences and modern computational methods will be especially valuable in scientific, data science, and computationally intensive industries. With the increasingly scientific, computational, and technical demands of the 21st Century workplace, this kind of background in the traditional sciences and computer science and technology is increasingly necessary.
