MSU
College of Science, Engineering and Technology
Welcome
to the College of Science, Engineering and Technology. On these pages you will
find exciting learning opportunities in the disciplinary areas of biology, chemistry,
geosciences, industrial and engineering technology, mathematics, statistics,
physics, and engineering physics.
You can go to college almost anywhere; but in
the College of Science, Engineering and Technology at Murray State University
you can get an education that will give you an edge in getting that first job
or in being accepted into the graduate or professional school of your choice.
It is our people and the structure of our programs that make the difference.
Our faculty are recognized scholars whose state-of-the-art
interdisciplinary research in areas like environmental and biomedical science
are funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, National Science
Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency. Like some of the finest
liberal arts colleges in the country, we use our research program to enhance
the learning environment for our undergraduate and graduate students, but we
do it at a state school tuition cost! It is our belief that students learn science,
mathematics and technology best by doing REAL work in these areas. To this end,
Murray State students have the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty
trying to solve some of the most intriguing problems facing the scientific community
today. Murray State students also have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on
experience through our co-op programs. Our students, both undergraduate and
graduate, have published the results of their research in national journals
and presented their work at regional and national conferences. This kind of
experience provides the edge needed when applying for graduate school, professional
school or a job.
Our designation as a Commonwealth Center of Excellence
for Reservoir Research and our Center of Distinction in Telecommunication Systems
Management adds to our distinctiveness in the state, national and international
academic communities.
There is little question that our education program
is different than the programs found at many academic institutions. It is because
of this difference that the College of Science, Engineering and Technology recently
received a $1.5 million award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute which
identifies our pre-medical program as one of the premier programs in the country.
The Hughes award is one of the most sought after recognitions of academic excellence
presented in the academic community today, with only 53 undergraduate institutions
receiving the award in 2000 from a field of over 1200 schools.
So take a few minutes to explore our web pages
to better understand our programs as we welcome you to "a strong and focused
college where our people make the difference." If you would like more informaion
about our programs, please don't hesitate to call us toll free at 1-888-886-5715.
Our faculty would like to talk with you.
