MISSION
The faculty of the School of Science, Technology, and Engineering Management teaches the methods of science and engineering to our community’s future leaders in the sciences by immersing them in a modern learning environment, featuring close student-faculty engagement in leading-edge research programs.
School Overview
The School offers diverse programs of study in the sciences for students aiming for careers in science, engineering, and medical professions. The School is committed to providing its students with the highest of educational standards, excellent classroom and laboratory experiences, and opportunities to engage in cutting edge research with its faculty. All our faculty have doctoral degrees, pursue research and other scholarly activities, and are committed to delivering an outstanding science education to our students.
Students learn current science and technology in the laboratory, in the classroom, and by participating in faculty-directed research, tailored to students’ needs. The School’s laboratories are equipped with the latest technologies in scientific equipment to provide students a complete and technologically relevant education in the sciences.
The School consists of two academic units:
The Department of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Computer Sciences offers traditional undergraduate programs in the health, life, physical, and computer sciences. The emphasis is on hands-on research and laboratory experience in preparation for graduate and professional schools as well as preparation for professional positions in the engineering and high-technology industries.
The Institute for Applied Computer Applications and Engineering Management is creating programs for professionals, scientists and engineers to advance their careers into executive leadership positions requiring strategic decision-making, interdisciplinary skills, and the ability to successfully manage resources. Our programs focus on the interdependence of technology and management as the core foundation required to successfully prepare our students to become technical leaders in business organizations.

SPECIALIZATION OPTIONS
Biological Research Specialization– for students in the Biology program
Forensic Science Specialization—for students in Biology or Chemistry programs
Pre-Professional Studies Specialization
The Pre-professional Studies Specialization is available to our students in the Biology program seeking careers in medicine, dentistry, podiatry, pharmacy, optometry, chiropractic or veterinary medicine. Depending on their professional aspirations and in consultation with our faculty and their respective advisors, these students are offered the courses needed to meet their pre-professional requirements, including a science-based education, opportunities for research, and hands-on experience in their chosen field. In addition, students receive strong analytical and communication skills.
Undergraduate Research
The undergraduate experience at St. Thomas University offers a hands-on approach to scientific development. Our school is firmly committed to undergraduate research opportunities. Our School provides our students the opportunity to engage in independent research either during the school year or during the summer. Opportunities for research exist on campus and with partnered universities and colleges across the state and country.
Graduate Programs
The School does not currently offer any graduate programs. However, the School provides graduate courses to support graduate degree programs throughout the University.
