Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

BACHELOR, TRADITIONAL

  • Applied Mathematics

    B.S.

    Mathematicians study quantity, distance and space with the goal of problem solving, reasoning, making connections and communicating. They advance knowledge by developing new principles and recognizing previously unknown relationships between existing principles of mathematics. Applied mathematicians use mathematical theories and techniques, including mathematical modeling and computational methods, to formulate and solve real-world problems in business, government and engineering, and in the areas of physical, life and social sciences.

  • Environmental Geosciences (Environmental Sustainability)

    B.S.

    Environmental geosciences is the study of earth and its four spheres: the lithosphere (the solid earth), hydrosphere (the realm of water), atmosphere (the gaseous envelope surrounding earth) and biosphere (the realm of living things). Environmental geoscientists study and care for the earth’s resources and the environment, in addition to studying other planets and the solar system. They solve environmental problems and help manage natural resources, and play a crucial role in shaping policies that affect public health and welfare.
