Welcome From the Department Head
Welcome to the Department of Integrated Science and Technology! Exciting things are happening here! We have four different programs, each with its own special purpose. Each program empowers students to analyze and solve real-world, human problems. Students create innovative solutions and also learn to communicate those solutions to a diverse audience.
BS ISAT in the Integrated Science and Technology program, students are part of a community working together to make a difference in the world. ISAT gives students options before, during, and after their time here. This unique program provides a flexible and personalized education, with lots of alternatives following graduation.
GS in the Geographic Sciences program, students acquire the skills to make a professional contribution to the field. They are highly qualified for careers in research and development and are equipped for long term success in geography.
IA in the Information Analysis program students learn to solve problems in national, international, or business intelligence settings. IA gives students a firm understanding of logic, reasoning, and aspects of how the human mind operates joined with an understanding of cultural and political factors.
MS ISAT in the Integrated Science and Technology Masters’ Degree program offers a flexible graduate degree to diverse and experienced professionals. The program provides an educational experience that facilitates in-depth knowledge and skills across a variety of integrated scientific and technological disciplines utilizing a systems approach.
In all these programs, we use a hands-on approach. “In ISAT, you don’t just study it, you do it!” If you would like more information about any of these programs, just call Paul Henriksen at 540-540-568-2755 or email henrikpw@jmu.edu.
Sincerely,
Polly Cushman
