Бакалавр интегрированных наук и технологий

Integrated Science and Technology prepares students for a variety of high-demand careers in growing fields.

ISAT is significantly broader than learning about just one science or technology area. With ISAT, you'll get a foundation in all of the basic sciences and a set of technology, computer, and problem-solving skills. You'll then apply that basic scientific knowledge and those technical skills to some of society's biggest problems. In ISAT, you’ll have the flexibility to explore and concentrate in one or more of the following growing fields.

• Energy
• Applied Biotechnology
• Environment and Sustainability
• Industrial and Manufacturing Systems
• Applied Computing
• Social Contexts in Science and Technology

Most ISAT graduates find high-paying, fulfilling careers in these growing fields, while others continue to graduate school or even start their own businesses. The ISAT model of broad scientific knowledge, technical skill, and applied problem-solving prepares ISAT graduates for whatever is next.

Integrated science and technology (ISAT) students learn about a broad range of scientific, technological, and social concepts and master concrete skills that will make them leaders in solving the real human problems that confront our world. Students start with a common foundations curriculum and then progress into more specialized technical areas of their choice during their junior and senior years. Studies in ISAT combine multiple scientific areas into one hands-on, integrated program in which students learn by working directly with technology and applying it to solve real-world problems.

ISAT graduates are successful in a broad range of professions and graduate schools. The program is both technical and flexible allowing students to customize a course sequence in preparation for a diverse array of technology-related careers.

We know that success requires equal parts intellect and action. At JMU, that’s what Being the Change is all about.

When students graduating from James Madison University proudly walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, they’re more than just educated. They’re members of a fellowship of doers. They know how to make things happen. They’ve honed their ability to think critically. They’ve learned the importance of a strong work ethic and they’ve become committed to and skilled at collaborating with others. Diplomas in hand, they leave campus determined to live lives of meaning and pursue careers of purpose.

Only two hours from Washington D.C., JMU is fast becoming one of the nation’s leading lights in higher education. That’s because students enjoy unusually engaged relationships with world-class faculty who are at JMU because they want to pursue knowledge and teach talented students.

JMU students, faculty and alumni are using equal parts intellect and action to succeed in every sort of pursuit: they’re boosting innovation and discovery, leading in business, advancing culture, improving health care, reforming education, renewing civil society, competing in athletics — they’re Being the Change in every imaginable way.
