Management Science and Information Systems (MS&IS)

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DAVID P. CHRISTY, in charge

This major is designed to prepare students for careers in executive management and management consulting. The modern corporation must respond quickly to change and its leadership must be able to plan on the basis of a well-coordinated and properly analyzed flow of information. Further, managers must increasingly operate across traditional functional boundaries. The goal of the Management Science and Information Systems major is to develop graduates whose knowledge prepares them for such an environment.

Following on from a thorough grounding in the functional areas of business, students are taught to develop analytical skills to complement their understanding of modern information systems, with an underlying emphasis on the importance of continuous quality improvement.

Graduates in this field will be qualified for positions in both the public and private sectors. Career opportunities include such fields as systems analysis, financial and market research, quality assurance, programming, and production planning.

For the B.S. degree in Management Science and Information Systems, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

Biology (BIOL)

PROFESSOR DOUGLAS CAVENER, Head

The curriculum in Biology is planned for preparation for professions requiring competence in biological science or for gaining an understanding of the world of living things. The professional group includes students who intend to secure advanced degrees through graduate study, students who are interested in work with various governmental agencies or industries having biological responsibilities, and students who want to prepare for careers in medicine or other health-related professions. Students whose interests are not professional select the curriculum because its broad approach can result in an educated view of the structure and function of living things. Achievement of these goals, including a special interest in a particular area of biology, can be met by selecting one of five options offered by the Department of Biology that will lead to the B.S. degree in Biology. The options and their key areas are 1) Plant Biology--morphology, systematics, and physiology of plants and fungi; 2) Ecology--behavior, and population and community biology of plants and animals; 3) General Biology--all aspects of modern biology; 4) Genetics and Developmental Biology--genetics, genetic engineering, and plant and animal development; 5) Neuroscience-development, biochemistry, physiology and aging of the central and peripheral nervous system; 6) Vertebrate Physiology-pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pharmacology, and animal physiology.

For the B.S. degree in Biology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

Information Sciences and Technology for Mathematics

PROFESSOR M. CARME CALDERER, in charge

The interaction between Information Sciences and Mathematics will continue developing in remarkable new directions. Mathematical scientists enormously benefit from information technology in the performance of research, in communicating and disseminating scientific information and results, as well as in career environments involving data analysis and management. Mathematicians also contribute to making inroads towards the development of new information technologies. Information sciences and technology are already playing a very important role in mathematical education, at all levels, and will experience an overwhelming increase in the near future. Giving undergraduate mathematics students the opportunity to minor in IST will not only enrich their educational achievements but it will also help them succeed in the employment searches.

Students must apply for entrance to the minor no later than the beginning of their senior year. A one- time tuition surcharge will be applied to all students enrolled in the minor. A grade of C or better is required in all courses in the minor.
