Greetings from the Dean

The Jones College of Science, Engineering and Technology (JCSET) is an outstanding place to study science, engineering, or mathematics. Here, learning goes beyond the classroom. We emphasize hands-on experiences that prepare you with the skills and confidence you need to stand out when you’re applying for your first job, graduate school, or professional school. While there are many college choices, Murray State and JCSET are committed to helping you succeed.

As a Murray State student, you’ll have numerous opportunities to gain practical experience through engaging coursework, co-op placements, and internship programs. Both undergraduate and graduate students regularly publish their research in national journals and present at professional conferences. We also make affordable, short- and long-term study abroad experiences easy to incorporate into your degree. These opportunities give you a competitive edge as you take the next step in your career or education.

At Murray State, teaching comes first. JCSET faculty are accessible, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success. You will have the chance to work side-by-side with faculty to solve some of today’s most interesting and important challenges. Our professors are recognized scholars conducting state-of-the-art research, and your learning is enriched through these close mentoring relationships. And all at a reasonable cost!

The JCSET is also home to several recognized centers, including the Cyber Education and Research Center, Hancock Biological Station, the Mapping Applications Resource Center and the Watershed Studies Institute. These centers contribute to our unique role in state, national, and international academic communities.

Please schedule a visit, or contact any of our departments with your questions. Welcome to Murray State! We are excited to have you here!

Sincerely,

Maeve McCarthy, Ph.D.
Interim Dean and Professor
