The curriculum and faculty prepare you for the future. Excellent facilities including a computer lab, a greenhouse/nursery complex and two university farms are designed for both class labs and student projects. Hands-on experience is important in agricultural study and is available to students in the areas of agriculture mechanics, agronomy, animal science, horticulture, and soils. Agriculture offers a Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree and a minor.
Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physics Programs
The Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physics programs have a long-standing tradition of educating students in the traditional areas of chemistry and physics and new expanding programs within our disciplines. There are also many exciting pre-professional programs available for our students.
Within the limits of its resources, the Biochemistry, Chemistry & Physics programs at the University of Central Missouri exists to provide active, modern undergraduate programs in chemistry and physics: (1) to serve the intellectual needs of students seeking a liberal education;
(2) to serve the technical and general educational needs of students; (3) to prepare professional chemists, physicists, and teachers; and (4) for students planning careers in health, science, and engineering fields. Chemistry offers one Bachelor of Arts, four Bachelors of Sciences undergraduate degrees and one minor. Chemistry offers one Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree and one minor.
Geography Program
The Geography program is a "big picture" discipline and serves as an important bridge or liaison between the social, physical, and mathematical sciences. In other words, it incorporates aspects of many other fields such as geology, history, biology, and anthropology. Geography is a core discipline in our campus curriculum, an attractive major in the Liberal Arts, and excellent preparation for life in a complex and fast-paced world. Geography offers important analytic tools for careers in areas such as planning, criminal justice, agriculture, environmental studies, and international affairs. Spatial data analysis, cartography, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are some of the hottest areas in the global workplace. Geography offers two minors and a graduate certificate.
Safety Sciences Programs
The Safety Sciences programs provide diverse safety and health programs for the undergraduate and graduate students. The program offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Safety Management, and Occupational Safety and Health. In conjunction with these degree the department offers minors in Safety and Fire Science. The Department also offers Master of Science degrees in Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Safety Management. The curricula are designed to enhance the professional success of the student. The faculty will provide opportunities for the student to develop communication and problem solving skills, networking and an understanding of safety and health values. The student should not hesitate to contact a faculty member if assistance is needed.
We invite you to explore the educational possibilities and begin your career in one of the programs offered in the School of Environmental, Physical and Applied Science at Central Missouri. We look forward to serving you education needs.
