Science Degrees Online

Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Administration

The Bachelor of Applied Science degree at Saint Leo University is available only for students with Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees in a technical field, not for students with A.S. degrees in a major for which the university offers a B.A. or B.S. degree program.

Graduates from this program will not only have applied skills but also a liberal arts education and the business leadership skills to gain promotion or become managers in the workplace or military.

The B.A.S. degree requires that the holder of the A.S. degree have in their degree at least 42 hours of related technical credits and 18 hours of general education. Prospective students should be aware that Saint Leo University will only allow 64 credits to be transferred from a community college

Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences

Welcome to the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences (ESS), formerly the Department of Kinesiology. We are very excited that you have chosen to view information from our Web-site. It is truly an exciting time to be a part of the ESS Department at Lubbock Christian University. Our department has recently received approval for a name change that better represents the entirety and quality of programs that we now offer. Beginning in the fall of 2009, several new options for our majors will be implemented and can be viewed below. Likewise, the addition of two new experienced faculty members, Dr. Hope Martin and Dr. Dean Culpepper, have enhanced the quality of advising, mentoring, and educational opportunities that our students will be exposed to. Regardless of the major chosen, our students will be exposed to a strong science-based curriculum preparing them for respected professions and/or a variety of graduate education opportunities. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions or we can serve you in any way.

Fire Science

Students are educated and trained in the technical fields relating to fire and safety practices. This program also provides partial lower-division preparation for the baccalaureate degree in this field. This certificate will pre-pare students for entry to a fire academy and for an
entry-level position in private and public fire-related occupations. This Associate Degree will prepare students for entry to a fire academy and for career advancement for those already employed in a fire-related industry.

Cognitive Science

Cognitive science is a developing area of interdisciplinary study that investigates the nature and representation of knowledge, the structure and function of intelligence (natural and artificial), and the relation of mind to brain and machine. Students are encouraged to acquaint themselves with insights and methods from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience.

Faculty of Science and Engineering

The Liberal Science Programme aims to provide a broad-based education in a number of science subjects. The Programme also aims to develop a critical maturity with an intellectually challenging choice of courses in non-science disciplines. The Liberal Science degree is designed to serve the needs of students who wish to emphasize, in the context of a liberal education, an understanding of the status, concepts, and orientations of modern science.

Career Opportunities

The degree provides a suitable background for a number of professions. Graduates may anticipate careers in science information processing, e.g., science librarians, public relations, technical writing, journalism, or they may continue their studies to pursue other professions such as teaching, law, medical professions, and others. Professionals in the work force may also upgrade their skills and knowledge with the degree. Because the programme is flexible, it can be established to fit divergent career plans. It is well suited for people who wish to study part-time, and through distance education.

Lander University
Military Science and Leadership

The Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is one of four ways to receive an Appointment as a United States Army Officer. Although West Point, Officer’s Candidate School, and the Direct Commissioning process serve as the other three options, the 272 College ROTC Departments across the nation annually commission over half of the Army’s 2nd Lieutenants.

In terms of a general overview, the ROTC curriculum is divided into two distinct courses: the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. Each course differs in regard to who can participate and also in regard to one’s overall military obligation. For detailed information on the basic or advanced course see our About the Program section.

Our ROTC Department here at Lander is part of a partnership between Presbyterian College, Newberry College, and Lander University. The ROTC Departments at these three schools combine to form the Scottish Highlander Battalion.

For more information, please contact the Lander University Military Science department at (864) 388-8331 or you may contact our ROTC Cadre member located at Lander, CPT Adrienne Bradley; her e-mail address is abradley@lander.edu. The ROTC Department is located on the corner of Willson St. and Daniel Ct. across from the gym and Brookside dormitories, and next to Lide dormitories.

Lancaster University Centre for e-Science.

The general objectives of the Lancaster Centre for e-Science are:

to accelerate the development of a new kind of computing and data management infrastructure for the social sciences, and to support the increasingly national and global collaborations emerging in many areas of science.

These activities will enable many researchers in management, social science and related fields to build models that acknowledge the full complexity of many social and economic phenomena. Research at the forefront of quantitative social science requires comprehensive approaches to model complex observational social and economic processes. A comprehensive model is one in which many of the interdependencies in the process are incorporated. E-Science will also lead to the creation of better evidence based substantive theory, more reliable forecasts, the determination of the most influential policy instruments and thus it will improve policy effectiveness. The computing power needed to use multiple large and complex data sets, and to use recent methodological developments in order to disentangle the multiple mechanisms at work in comprehensive models, are only just becoming available. The increase in computational power offered by e-Science promises to open the door to a new world.
