The
College is fully committed to UALR's metropolitan university
mission. We see our goal as providing fuel that drives the
economic engine of Central Arkansas and beyond. That engine
is increasingly dependent on science and mathematics whether
it is producing products, services, or the knowledge base
that is critical in the global marketplace. Students completing
degree programs in the College of Science and Mathematics
are fully prepared to enter that enlarging global marketplace
developing in Central Arkansas.
The
College offers Bachelor’s degrees in Biology, Chemistry,
Geology, Environmental Health Sciences, Health Sciences, Mathematics,
and Physics as well as an Associate of Science in Nursing.
A Master’s degree may be obtained in Biology, Chemistry,
Applied Mathematics, or Applied Science. The College offers
a truly innovative graduate program leading to the Master
of Science in Integrated Science and Mathematics and faculty
direct graduate student research leading to a Ph.D. degree
in Applied Science. Several of these degree programs require
coursework in the Cyber College that offers the students additional
opportunities for training at the cutting edge of science
and technology.
Like
the rest of UALR, the College is engaged in the assessment
of learning outcomes in both core courses and degree programs.
As an adjunct to that process, we completed a Strategic Plan that identifies opportunities in the College to enhance our contribution in ways that lead to increased scholarship.
This planning provides an exciting tool for identifying
future needs and directions. You are invited to re-visit the
site so that you can watch the future unfold for the College
of Science and Mathematics.
