ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS

Biological Sciences / Chemistry & Physics / Computer Science & Industrial Technology / Mathematics

Biological Sciences

Dr. David Sever, Department Head

The Department of Biological Sciences offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biological Sciences and in Horticulture Science. Concentrations within the B.S. in Biological Sciences include: Ecology/Environmental/Evolutionary Biology; Microbiology/Molecular Biology; Organismal/Integrative Biology; and Science Education. Within these concentrations, we can design pre-professional degree plans for individuals interested in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, and other health-related fields. We also prepare students for entry into competitive graduate programs in Biological Sciences. At Southeastern, our Master of Science (M.S.) in Biological Sciences has both thesis and non-thesis options.

Chemistry and Physics

Dr. Gerard Blanchard, Department Head

The Department of Chemistry and Physics offers degrees in both Chemistry and Physics.  The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Chemistry at Southeastern is designed to effectively prepare students either for industrial careers or for post-baccalaureate education, including graduate school (where students pursue a Ph.D.) and medical school. The Chemistry B.S. program offers a general curriculum with several concentrations, including the American Chemical Society (ACS) certified degree, a Biochemistry concentration, a Business and Industry concentration, and a Political Science/Pre-Law concentration.  The Physics B.S. program is a general curriculum suitable for students interested in graduate study or a career in industry or engineering

Computer Science/Industrial Technology

Dr. Cris Koutsougeras, Department Head

Computer Science offers a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) with two concentration areas, including Information Systems and Science. The Computer Science program is nationally accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission(CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

Industrial Technology offers a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) with four concentration areas, including Automated Systems, Drafting Design, Industrial Internship, Supervision, and Occupational Safety, Health and Environment. The department also offers a two-year program leading to the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) with four concentrations, including Construction Technology, Design Drafting Technology, Occupational Safety, Health and Environment, and Supervision. The Industrial Technology program is nationally accredited by the National Association for Industrial Technology (NAIT).

Mathematics

Dr. Timothy Hudson, Department Head

The Department of Mathematics offers a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.).
