Program Overview

Offers professional growth to students in their area of interest, when they take a variety of courses in mathematics, the natural and physical sciences, and computer science. The program's signature aspect is a capstone experience that must truly integrate the interdisciplinary content into a unified program of research.

The Master’s program in Integrated Sciences degree is designed for students who plan to pursue scientific knowledge in fields that do not fit traditional categories, or those who seek competency in multiple scientific disciplines. Thus, it is a natural choice for those with dual undergraduate degrees and provides ideal preparation for a broad range of careers that require skills in multiple areas, disciplines, and fields.

This is a focused interdisciplinary plan of study in which students take courses from two or three disciplines, identify a mentor, and complete a Master’s thesis or project. The signature aspect of the program is that the capstone experience must truly integrate the interdisciplinary content into a unified program of research.

Students in the Master’s program in Integrated Sciences have the opportunity to take courses from a variety of areas in mathematics, the natural and physical sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, physics), and computer science in a program designed for professional growth in their area of interest. These areas are further explored through a required project or thesis that includes independent research into their particular area of interest.

In the MIS program, you will develop a suite of transferable skills across multiple disciplines. Through coursework, advising, and your own research, you will build a versatile skill set, including research methods, laboratory and field techniques, critical thinking and problem solving, and numerical and statistical techniques.

Students entering the Master’s program in Integrated Sciences have backgrounds in the traditional fields of Biology, Chemistry, Math, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Physical Geology. Our program is especially attractive to graduating double majors seeking a Master’s program that will allow them to further explore their dual interests through graduate school. Health science professionals have used the program to enhance their existing credentials with a Master’s degree designed around biochemistry, biophysics, or computational biology, thus increasing their desirability to MD and MD/PhD programs.

Alumni Success Stories

Some great things happened for me that I would like to share with you and if you like with the department. I started applying for jobs in late October anticipating my graduation and I got a job with UCLA Center for Public Health in November. They chose me over candidates that came from elite Universities like UC Berkeley and UCLA that had way higher GPAs, however; they lacked two things. One, I had publications and presentations at conferences and more importantly, two, I had multi-disciplinary degree. Because of MIS program, I had two skills that usually had required them to staff two different people to perform the tasks. While my official title is Statistician, I am also known here as the “GIS Guy.” So thank you for the opportunity to participate in the program. I think that for applied minded people such as myself, it represents a great opportunity for progress in degrees.
