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., 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; and the Center for
Space Sciences.
