The University offers a bachelor of science (B.S.) in automotive engineering technology. The Automotive Engineering Technology Program is focused on educating automotive industry professionals who make decisions based on sound management practices and a thorough understanding of automobile technology. The program emphasizes managerial skills while assuring students receive a firm understanding of automotive operations, learn to solve technical problems through analysis—and gain knowledge in computer applications and information management skills. Coursework includes studies in the following areas: Automotive electronics Body computer systems Diesel engine theory Engine theory and service Fixed operations management Fluid power technology Fuels and lubes analysis Industrial supervision Physics and chemistry Service facility organization and management Steering and suspension systems Survey of power systems Technical drawing with CAD Transmission and drivelines In addition, students complete the University's Foundational Studies Program, which provides the knowledge students need in critical thinking, leadership, and interpersonal and communication skills. Although a minor is not required for completion of this degree, many students pursue a minor in a related area of interest such as business, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, packaging, or safety. An important feature of the program is the blending of theoretical, laboratory, and practical learning experiences. Course work is centered in the University's John T. Myers Technology Center, which has more than 20 state-of-the-art laboratories. Students gain hands-on experience in testing, diagnosis, and repair of the modern vehicle. Laboratory experiences also include engine performance testing utilizing chassis and state-of-the-art engine dynamometers. In addition, students can gain real-world experience through participation in the Co-op / Internship Program, which combines on-campus study with actual work experience off campus. Companies that have sponsored co-op experiences include: Allison Transmission, Buick Motor Division, Cummins, Inc., Daimler Chrysler, Electronic Data Systems, Honda, Jasper Engine, Mel Kenyon Racing, Toyota Motor Co., TRW, and United Parcel Service. A number of activities and organizations are available that enable students to interact with other students and professionals in the industry. These include the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME)—and Epsilon Pi Tau (the international honorary for professions in technology)

The Biology Program prepares students for a variety of professional positions—and is also preparation for entry into a professional school such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, veterinary medicine, or dental hygiene. Our science graduates find employment in diverse occupations, including the following: Agriculture biotechnologist Animal behaviorist Animal husbandry technician Biochemical development engineer Biofuels expert Bioinformatics specialist Biomedical technician Biostatistician Cloning technician Dietitian Ecologist Educator Entomologist Evolutionary biologist Forensic pathologist Geneticist Immunologist Marine biologist Microbiologist Parasitologist Patent attorney Pharmacologist Physician Physiologist Phytopathologist Plant breeder Wildlife conservationist Zoo technician
