Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology
In
today's world, studies in Biology are becoming increasingly important. Georgia
Southern University's Biology program prepares students for careers as professional
biologists in a wide variety of fields. Southeast Georgia is a biologically
rich and ecologically diverse area that encompasses coastline, wetlands, woodlands,
and cities. Consistent with the mission of the University, the Biology Department
seeks to expand horizons through outreach, preserve distinctive cultural and
natural legacies, and maintain the integrity of South Georgia's environment.
The
Department of Chemistry offers a well balanced program for the education of
its students. To prepare them for their professional careers, the Department
is committed to providing quality teaching and research experiences emphasizing
critical and independent thought. The curriculum provides strong innovative
instruction in the theory and practice of the chemical sciences. It is designed
to introduce students to modern laboratory methods and technology using state-of-the-art
scientific equipment. The faculty is committed to providing an environment
that addresses the individual needs of each student and encourages them to
develop their potential through life-long learning and to be responsible members
of their profession and community.
Construction
Management & Civil Engineering Technology
The
department offers two accredited degree programs taught by highly qualified
faculty. The Construction Management (CM) program prepares graduates for careers
as qualified project managers and other disciplines in the construction industry.
Graduates are employed by major national and international construction companies
in addition to those in the south eastern region. Many graduates have also
formed their own companies. Civil Engineering Technology (CET) Graduates are
well prepared for careers in the environmental, structural, and transportation
areas of the discipline at local, state, and national levels. Graduates are
employed in a wide range of positions with industry and government.
The department
has currently more than 500 students in CM and 130 students in CET program.
Students are taught in modern laboratories using updated state of the art
computer software for estimating, scheduling, structural analysis, environmental
practices, and other related fields.
The department strives to offer a balance of teaching, research, and service to the region served by the University and beyond. Areas of focus among geology faculty include igneous and metamorphic petrology, paleontology, sedimen-tology, structural geology, hydrogeology, environmental geology, and natural history of the Coastal Plain. Geography faculty interests include climatology, geomorphology, human and cultural geography, and biogeography. Both programs emphasize computer applications, including Geographic Information Systems.
The primary areas of interest of the Department of Mathematical Science are mathematics, mathematics education, and statistics. Mathematics is a discipline which requires the abilities to think logically and to reason correctly about diverse concepts. It also requires highly developed communication and writing skills.
Mechanical Engineering & Electrical Engineering Technology
The
Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology offers four
undergraduate programs of study in Engineering Technology, Engineering Studies,
and Technical Management. The department also offers a graduate degree in
Master of Technology. Students can receive Bachelor of Science degrees in
Mechanical Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, and
Manufacturing. These accredited programs are housed in a modern facility which
includes state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, and equipment. All faculty
hold doctorate degree in their field and have substantial industrial experience.
Students who desire a degree in Engineering from Georgia Tech can enroll in
the Engineering Studies program (GTREP/RETP or TOP) for freshman and sophomore
years and upon completion of the first two years transfer to GT Atlanta or
Savannah campus.
The department is committed to providing high quality technical instruction
with hands-on laboratory and field activities to students. Graduates of these
programs are successfully employed in the mainstream industry and broadening
high-tech segment.
The Georgia Southern University Military Science Department is charged with managing the Army's Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program on campus. Army ROTC provides college-trained officers for the U.S. Army, the Army National Guard, and the U.S. Army Reserve. It does this through a combination of college courses in military science and summer training sessions.
There
are currently seven different research projects in the areas of astronomy,
biophysics, and theoretical and experimental atomic, molecular, and optical
physics. Our goal is to continue to provide a superior education to Georgia
Southern students and to conduct state of the art research in Astronomy, Laser
Physics, and Theoretical Physics.
Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental
Program
Welcome to the Georgia Southern University Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental. This site is designed to provide you with the up-to-date information that you need as you move through the Pre-Medical or Pre-Dental program.
The most important
piece of information on this site
You CANNOT major in Pre-Medicine and Pre-Dentistry. You need to choose a major
from a university degree program (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.).
Students from any major may participate in the Pre-Med and Pre-Dent programs
which are designed to:
-
prepare you for the professional school entrance exam (MCAT for medicine and DAT for Dentistry) that you will take in your junior year
-
provide the scientific foundation for your professional education
You'll find more information on majors and the pre-med/dent curriculum under the Advising Info Link at the left.
Explore the site and its links. If you still can't find what your looking for, contact Prof. Jim Braselton who maintains this site or any of the Pre-Med/Pre-Dent Advisors listed under the link at the left.
Make your first stop the Bulletin Board where you will find all of the latest news and happenings.
