Astronomy
Studies the origin, evolution, and physical properties of celestial objects including stars, galaxies, black holes, and planetary systems. Students use observational telescopes, spectroscopy, and computational modeling to analyze astrophysical data. Graduates pursue research careers at observatories, NASA, space agencies, and universities, or apply quantitative skills in data science and finance.
Biochemistry
Investigates the chemical processes and molecular mechanisms that underlie living systems including metabolism, enzyme function, DNA replication, and protein structure. Students conduct laboratory research using techniques such as gel electrophoresis, HPLC, and mass spectrometry. Graduates work in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, clinical laboratories, and medicine.
Biology
Life sciences and biological research
Chemistry
Chemical science and research
Epidemiology
Studies the distribution, determinants, and control of diseases and health conditions in human populations. Students learn biostatistics, study design, disease surveillance, and public health interventions. Graduates work at the CDC, WHO, state health departments, hospitals, and research universities as epidemiologists and public health scientists.
Food Science
Applies chemistry, biology, and engineering principles to the study of food composition, safety, processing, preservation, and sensory properties. Students conduct laboratory research on food quality, microbial safety, and product development. Graduates work in food manufacturing, regulatory agencies, quality assurance, and research and development at consumer packaged goods companies.
