������ý to Offer Two New Degree Programs This Fall

---

������ý’s will offer two new degree programs this fall – a Master of Science degree in marine science and oceanography and a Bachelor of Arts degree in health sciences.

In collaboration with ������ý’s , the master’s degree program will offer ������ý interested in coastal and oceanographic science the opportunity to work alongside leading researchers and engineers at HBOI in Fort Pierce. This hands-on experience will provide ������ý with a broad understanding of coastal, nearshore and oceanographic science while they learn how to conduct independent research. The degree will prepare ������ý for careers in research, education, government, private-sector consulting and nonprofit organizations.

The bachelor’s degree in health sciences program is designed for ������ý interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. The interdisciplinary curriculum will broaden ������ý’ understanding of factors that both positively and negatively impact the healthcare system, patients and practitioners. The program will prepare ������ý for additional graduate-level training in clinical or nonclinical careers, including public health, pharmaceutical sales and physical therapy.

“These new degree programs reflect our faculty’s strong commitment to meeting the needs of ������ý ������ý and the community at-large,” said , Ph.D., dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. “They also represent interdisciplinary collaborations that build upon the strengths already present at ������ý.”
