The Home of STEM EducationWelcome to the Department of Science and Mathematics
Whether you’re looking for employment in the high-demand careers of aviation and engineering, or you are looking to take a more practical approach in caring for the environment or understanding data and mathematical modeling, the Department of Science and Mathematics will provide you with the education needed to succeed in your pursuits. Explore our four academic areas: Aviation Science, Biology, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering.
Aviation Science
The Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management at Texas A&M University-Central Texas provides a comprehensive background in aviation studies, management and business to prepare students for airport and diverse general aviation-related roles. The Aviation Science-Professional Pilot Bachelor of Science at Texas A&M University-Central Texas provides students with a well-rounded curriculum that encompasses conceptual foundations in aviation science and management.
Biology
Biology is a multidisciplinary cutting-edge field encompassing the vast diversity of life from the smallest amino acid to ecosystem dynamics. Our program includes a diversity of courses that are taught by faculty who are dedicated to quality education through scholarship and research. The breadth of our faculty interests and experiences enable students to specialize their degree in sub-disciplines of biology such as biotechnology, ecology and conservation biology, and organismal biology.
Mathematics
Our mathematics program offers a variety of courses in theoretical and applied mathematics at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. At the Bachelor’s level, majors may obtain a degree with or without secondary teacher’s certification. At the Master’s level, we are particularly focused on equipping students seeking careers in higher education, operations research, data analytics, and mathematical modeling.
Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)
Mechanical Engineering is the design, construction and use of machines. Mechanical Engineering Technology is the hands-on application and implementation of these engineering skills and principles. We ask and answer questions such as “How do you get the machinery to work? What would you look for if troubleshooting?” Our applied problem-solving approach requires more time in the lab and less focus on learning advanced math and engineering concepts. Our labs have world-class equipment, where you will apply everything you learn in the classroom.
