Nanotechnology
Our
newest physics degree program is the B.S. physics
with Nanotechnology Concentration. This program is designed for
students who are interested in the rapidly growing field of
nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing.
Students enrolled in this program have the opportunity to
participate in an 18 credit hour laboratory experience at the Penn
State Nanofabrication Facility.
Career opportunities for students completing this degree program
include: microelectronics, optoelectronics, semiconductor and
microsensor fabrication, and biotechnology.
This degree program is also excellent preparation for graduate
study in surface physics and material science, as well as many of
the rapidly emerging nanoscience/nanotechnology fields.
Nursing
Mansfield
University's Department of Health Sciences offers a nursing
program, accredited by The National League for Nursing
Accrediting Commission, which blends the resources of a
public university and a regional medical center. This combination
leads to a program that is both academically and clinically strong.
The curriculum provides a solid background in nursing as well as
the liberal arts and sciences.
Students spend their first two years on the Mansfield campus taking
courses in general education and nursing. The second two years are
at the Sayre site where they engage in a wide range of clinical
experiences at the Robert Packer Hospital. Students also have the
opportunity to learn in community settings such as nursing homes,
elementary and secondary schools, nursery schools, and outpatient
clinics, in addition to traditional public health agencies.
The goals of the program are to provide students with the essential
skills necessary to develop intellectual curiosity, critical
thinking, communication skills, therapeutic nursing skills which
provide the basis for the development of a successful and
professional nursing practitioner. This educational program
prepares individuals for career opportunities in acute, chronic and
community settings, as well as for continued education at the
graduate level.
Biology
The Department of
Biology offers three degrees and two concentrations leading to the
baccalaureate degree. The department also offers a minor in
biology.
Programs
leading to the B.S. degree give a solid liberal arts background and
a foundation in science with botany, zoology, cell biology,
ecology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. With close advisement
you may concentrate in any one of several areas: botany,
physiology, ecology, and cellular biology, among others. A unique
feature of all biology degrees is the requirement to complete an
undergraduate research project. These programs
meet the minimum requirements for medical schools. The biology
program is excellent preparation for graduate school. Many biology
graduates become technicians in hospitals and research
laboratories. Others go into sales positions with medical and
pharmaceutical supply companies, while still others find employment
in the environmental and ecological fields.
Those students preparing for a career in medicine may meet the
minimum requirements for medical, dental, chiropractic, veterinary,
and physical therapy schools with proper course selection under the
B.S. degree.
Music
The Department of
Music provides an environment that promotes academic, musical and
personal growth as well as intellectual, ethical and aesthetic
values. The department serves the regional, national and
international communities by developing human and material
resources. The department of music is committed to stimulating a
continuous pursuit of knowledge, understanding and skills by
students and faculty. The Music Department offers five degree
programs leading to the baccalaureate degree with a major in music.
Students in other majors with appropriate interest and aptitude may
pursue a minor in music. Degree programs include: performance,
music education, music therapy, music with elective studies in
business, and a BA in music. Students must complete a live audition
for acceptance into a music degree program. Please refer to the
department for audition information and other entrance
requirements. All music programs are accredited by the
National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).
Students
in all music degree programs are required to complete a core of
essential courses in music theory, music history and literature,
applied music and piano, and they must participate in music
ensembles. All music students are required to pass the first piano
proficiency. Each individual degree program has additional
proficiency requirements to better prepare the student for his or
her chosen field of endeavor.
During the fourth semester of study, all students will complete a
sophomore review. The sophomore review will consist of performance
on primary instrument, piano, singing and sight-reading, rhythmic
reading and conducting, written career goals and grade point
average. The review must be passed to continue into upper division
music courses.
