SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS
The School of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics houses six departments, each with graduate programs: Chemistry
(M.S., Ph.D); Geosciences (M.S., Ph.D); Mathematical Sciences, emphasizing
Applied Mathematics and Statistics (M.S., Ph.D.); Molecular and Cell Biology
(M.S., Ph.D.); Physics (M.S., M.S. in Applied Physics, Ph.D.); and Science and
Mathematics Education (Master of Arts in Teaching). In addition, there are two
interdisciplinary degrees offered: Master of Science in BioInfomatics and
Computational Biology, and Master of Science in Biotechnolgy. Each is
relatively small and thus able to provide excellent graduate student - faculty
contact. However, each maintains a strong research program. Increasingly, Departments
interact with each other in research, allowing interdisciplinary efforts to
flourish. A number of well-funded Research Centers and Institutes are also
housed in NS&M; these allow graduate students to approach real world,
cutting edge research problems while working side by side with professional
research staff and internationally recognized faculty. They are: the Center for
Applied Biology; the Center for Lithospheric Studies; the UTD NanoTech
Institute; the Center for Quantum Electronics; the Center for Sickle Cell
Disease and Research; and the Center for Space Sciences.
