Aerospace StudiesAir Force ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) isadministered by the Department of Aerospace Studiesand is a program in the College of Arts and Sciences.The mission of Air Force ROTC is to produce leaders forthe Air Force and build better citizens for America. Asthe largest source of Air Force officers, Air Force ROTCoffers a number of opportunities for UMR students whowish to become commissioned officers by offering pro-fessional, academic, and military training. Leadership,communication, and basic military skills are the focus ofthe ROTC program. In addition to helping a student suc-ceed during college, Air Force ROTC also fosters self-confidence and self-discipline.

Opportunities in the Air Force are excellent, withover 100 possible career fields available. Career fieldavailability depends on academic discipline, medical con-dition, desires of the individual, and needs of the AirForce. As newly commissioned second lieutenants on ac-tive duty, Air Force ROTC graduates can serve worldwide,performing challenging and rewarding duties in highlytechnical, scientific, and operational areas such as de-sign, research, engineering, systems development,space operations, computer science, procurement, fly-ing, management, acquisition, and maintenance.

Although Air Force ROTC is set up as a four-year pro-gram, students can choose a four, three, or two-yearcourse of study. The first two years of the program,called the General Military Course (GMC), cover basic in-troductory military topics as well as communication andleadership. The final two years of the program, called theProfessional Officer Course (POC), cover topics such asleadership, management, doctrine, international events,quality, communication, and officership. In addition tothe academic ROTC class, all cadets attend up to a oneand a half-hour leadership laboratory each week. Lead-ership laboratory provides cadets with the knowledgeand practical command and staff leadership experiencein preparation for active duty as Air Force officers. It islargely cadet planned, directed, and centered.

Scholarships, which may cover up to full tuition andfees, based on residency are available to qualifiedcadets. A monthly stipend is given during the academicyear to each cadet on scholarship and also to membersof the POC. Students who receive an AFROTC scholarshipalso receive an annual $2000 supplement from UMR,which will currently cover most room costs excludingboard. ROTC scholarship recipients are eligible to receiveother UMR scholarships. Students do not have to be ona scholarship to complete our program and be an AirForce officer.

There is no obligation connected in taking Air ForceROTC for a non-scholarship cadet during the freshmanand sophomore years. Obligations begin only at thestart of a student’s last two years of the program or af-ter a ROTC scholarship is awarded and activated.

Students usually attend summer field training priorto their junior year, before enrollment into the POC. En-trance into the POC is based on an extensive evaluation

and selection process during the student’s sophomoreyear. Cadets who complete the POC in good standing andearn their academic degree are commissioned as secondlieutenants and serve on active duty for four or moreyears, depending on their selected Air Force career field.Pilots incur a ten-year active duty service commitmentafter completing undergraduate pilot training. Naviga-tors incur a eight-year active duty service commitmentafter completing undergraduate navigator training.

The Air Force ROTC unit at UMR is organized as anobjective wing, with associate groups, squadrons, andflights. Freshmen and sophomore cadets are assignedto one of the flights. They receive instruction from POCcadets in basic military customs and courtesies, drillmovements, and many other facets of Air Force opera-tions. Additionally, they are offered the opportunity tovisit Air Force bases and discuss career opportunitieswith Air Force members. Junior and senior cadets areassigned and rotated through various leadership posi-tions, gaining experience in management procedures.

Biological SciencesBachelor of ArtsBachelor of Sciences

Biological sciences or biology is the study of life andliving organisms. Biological Sciences embraces a vastand rapidly expanding body of knowledge, includingmany details of:

• biochemistry, sub-cellular and molecular biology,• the anatomy ad physiology of cells, tissues, organs

and organ systems, whole multi-cellular plants, an-imals, and fungi,

• the complex structure, function, and behavior of in-dividuals, populations, communities, ecosystems,and the entire biosphere.

Biology also draws on the physical sciences (chemistry,physics, mathematics, and earth sciences) as well asthe behavioral sciences for analysis and interpretationof life’s varied processes and interrelationships.

The study of biology or biological sciences may be-come the academic foundation for many career andpostgraduate opportunities in:

• Industry and government (chemical, food, agricul-ture, pharmaceutical, environmental, research)

• Education (teaching and graduate study)• Medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and other

health professions.The core curriculum required of all biological sciencesmajors consists of basic course work in introductory bi-ology, zoology, plant biology, cellular biology (biochem-istry & biophysics), microbiology, genetics, and ecology.A variety of advanced courses offer greater depth, de-tail and specific information leading to proficiency andpreparation for employment and other postgraduate ac-tivities.

At UMR faculty members active in research teach allbiological sciences courses. Classes are small, providingexceptional opportunity for discussion and individual at-tention. Undergraduate students are encouraged to par-ticipate in current research projects, learning tech-

niques and developing skills that will prepare them formany exciting postgraduate opportunities. A strongbackground in mathematics and physical sciences, to-gether with outstanding supporting course work in thehumanities and social sciences provide a well-roundededucational experience and enhanced understanding.UMR students who have received their B.S. degrees inbiological sciences have an excellent record of success.Average performance on nationally normed achieve-ment examinations has been very high. Acceptance ofUMR students in professional schools of medicine, den-tistry and pharmacy and subsequent performance of ourstudents in these professional schools remains excep-tionally high. Many UMR biological sciences graduateshave been accepted into prestigious graduate studyprograms in a variety of areas, including: biochemistry,microbiology, immunology, molecular genetics and ge-netic engineering, marine biology, cell and mammalianphysiology, human physiology, environmental science,plant physiology, and evolution. Employment opportuni-ties are many and varied, and future prospects for grad-uates in the biological sciences remain promising. Thebroad educational resources and depth of understand-ing available to the UMR student of biology offer ade-quate preparation and often a competitive edge for abroad variety of jobs and graduate study programs.

Chemistry is the study of the elements, the com-pounds they form and the reactions they undergo.

The program of study encompasses the full rangeof the subject plus mathematics, physics, and, if de-sired, biology. Students may also pursue special inter-ests such as analytical, biological, electrochemical, en-

vironmental, inorganic, nuclear, organic, physical orpolymer chemistry.

The B.A. offers a general education degree with achemistry focus. The B.A. degree may be appropriatefor students in pre-professional programs (pre-medi-cine, pre-veterinary, pre-dentistry, pre-pharmacy,chemical sales and marketing).

Chemists tackle a broad range of challenges, fromenvironmental cleanup and pollution prevention to cre-ating the materials that will take humans to Mars. ABachelor’s degree in Chemistry will provide many careerpossibilities. It has been called the central science be-cause it occupies a pivotal place in many disciplines. Assuch it serves as the foundation for many other profes-sions such as medicine, biotechnology, ceramics, chem-ical engineering, polymers, materials, metallurgy andenvironmental sciences.

All students are encouraged to participate in researchprograms during their undergraduate career. Such partic-ipation can lead to valuable experience and the possibili-ty of publications, awards and recognition in the chem-istry work place. Students may opt to participate in thecampus wide “Opportunities in Research Experience”(OURE). Through OURE they can receive academic cred-it and a stipend for conducting a research project of mu-tual interest to the student and a faculty member.

Schrenk Hall is home to the department and wheremost chemistry classes and laboratories are held. The de-partment has a broad range of modern instrumentationand equipment to prepare the student for the future.

Computer ScienceBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of Philosophy

The Computer Science Department educates stu-dents in a broad range of areas in computer science.Computer Science students take courses in the designand implementation of software systems and the algo-rithms (problem solving techniques) used to solve “realworld” problems in business, industry, and engineeringor as preparation for graduate study. While instructionand research are on the leading edge of computing, theDepartment endeavors to keep class size small to facil-itate student and faculty interactions.

In addition to computer science courses, the De-partment’s undergraduate program requires students tobe educated in a broad range of general educationcourses. During their senior year, all computer scienceseniors take the capstone course that gives them “realworld” experience working with teams composed of fel-low students and practicing computer scientists. Theseteams design, implement, test, and maintain actualsoftware systems. (The sample curriculum shown belowprovides more detail.)

The Computer Science faculty has a broad range ofscholarly interests. These interests include computation-al science, graphics and robotics, information systems(traditional and multimedia), intelligent systems (artifi-cial intelligence), parallel and distributed computing,bioinformatics, web computing, as well as software engi-neering. Faculty are not only actively doing research inthese areas, they integrate their research experienceswith the classroom experiences of undergraduates aswell as graduates.

Computer science graduates from UMR work in avariety of environments not only around the world butalso in space. Some work for large companies, othersprefer smaller companies. Many of our graduates have

started their own companies. Regardless of their choiceof employment, UMR Computer Science graduates arein high demand as evidenced by the number of compa-nies who specifically recruit our graduates.

The Computer Science Department at UMR makesuse of both its own laboratories as well as university com-puting facilities. The Department maintains several labo-ratories including the following instructional laboratories,

• Instructional Workstation Laboratory that providesUnix workstations,

• Instructional PC Laboratory consisting of PC com-puting platforms, and the

• Computer Science Learning CenterResearch laboratories provide support for both under-graduate and graduate students. These laboratories in-clude:

• Software Engineering Laboratory• Experimental Computation Laboratory• Machine Learning Laboratory• Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory• Internet and Sensor Data Management Lab

Languages: C++, C, Java, Fortran, CLIPS, Lisp, COBOL,Prolog, CASE tools, and databases (ORACLE). OperatingSystems—Unix, DOS, Windows.

Remote computer access is available to all students,faculty and staff.

HistoryBachelor of Arts/HistoryMaster of ArtsMaster of Arts available as a cooperative degreeprogram with the History Department of the Uni-versity of Missouri-St. Louis. A maximum of 12graduate semester hours may be taken at UMR.

History is a response to the eternal desire of humanbeings to know more about themselves. For this reason,history students experience a variety of courses, whichemphasize the importance of people, their individualchoices, their values and their ways of seeing themselvesand their world. History majors study man’s accumulatedheritage from the fossil past to the nuclear present.

This varied course of study includes fundamentalsurvey classes, specific chronological or topical investi-gations, and special topic seminars. At UMR individualswho hold Ph.D. degrees and are publishing scholarsteach virtually all of your history and political sciencecourses. The hallmark of the program is individual at-tention. In upper-level courses, efforts are made tokeep class sizes small enough to enable discussion,which in turn provides for a greater breadth of knowl-edge and depth of understanding, and for personal stu-dent-professor associations.

As a history major you learn to analyze information,communicate effectively, and engage in research. Suchskills are useful for careers in government service, busi-

ness, industry, and social service institutions, as well asbeing the fundamental requisites for graduate and pro-fessional studies beyond the undergraduate degree.

If you plan to become a secondary school historyteacher, you can fulfill the general requirements for theBachelor of Arts degree, the requirements for the his-tory major, and the requirements for Missouri certifica-tion in the teaching of history. See Education for furtherinformation. Contact the UMR history department foradvising.

A minor in history is an option for non-majors whowish to complement their major field of study. This five-course option allows you to gain a broader perspectiveon human events and to develop your abilities in histor-ical analysis.

The UMR Department of History and Political Sci-ence, in a cooperative agreement with the Departmentof History at UM-St. Louis, offers access to graduatestudy in history. Through the program, students maytake up to 12 of their required hours for an M.A. in his-tory on the UMR Campus. Students must be accepted byboth the UM-St. Louis and UMR departments to be fullyenrolled in the program. Contact the UMR Departmentof History and Political Science for further information.

In short, when you study history you not onlylearn important information and skills but you also arechallenged to think, to communicate, and to cope withcomplexity.

Bachelor of Science(Applied Mathematics)

Master of Science(Applied Mathematics)

Master of Science for Teachers(Mathematics)

Doctor of Philosophy(Mathematics)Emphasis areas at the Bachelor of Science levelinclude actuarial science, algebra/discrete math-ematics, applied analysis, computational mathe-matics and statistics. Emphasis areas at the doc-tor of philosophy level of mathematics includeanalysis, differential and functional equations,and statistics.

Mathematics is a universal language. It is one whichscientists use to express ideas and relationships concise-ly. It is a tool, which they use to investigate problems.

As a mathematician, you will set up and analyzemodels of physical situations in order to deduce new in-formation and to predict results.

Most students pursue their study of mathematicsthrough a differential equations course and then electcourses in specialized areas such as algebra, analysis,geometry, topology, and statistics. Supporting study intechnical electives is required from other departments.Such study includes analytical mechanics, communica-tion theory, control theory, and others.

Your classes, for the most part, will be held in theRolla Building. You will be provided data processing andcomputational services to solve complex problemsthrough the computer facilities. (See computer sciencedescription.)

You will find that mathematics contributes to thegrowth in knowledge in most areas. Your program atUMR will emphasize breadth in mathematics and depthin an associated area of application.

The Department of Military Science is responsiblefor the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Program.ROTC is a program of leadership and basic military skilltraining which prepares students to serve as officers inthe Total Army—the Active Army, the Army Reserve, andthe Army National Guard—after graduation. Army ROTCcan help you succeed during college and after gradua-tion. You can gain the confidence and self-disciplineneeded to meet the academic challenge of UMR throughmilitary science courses and can acquire the leadershipskills, which will impress employers when you enter thework force.

The Army ROTC program is flexible, and allows stu-dents to participate in the first two years of the programwithout obligation. Alternate entry programs for stu-dents with prior military service, transfer students, andstudents serving in the Army Reserve or National Guardare available. The Advanced Course, Junior and Senioryears), focuses on preparing cadets for officership, andrequires a commitment to the ROTC program. Studentswho wish to take Military Science courses, but who donot wish to participate in Army ROTC, may do so withthe approval of the Department Chairman.

Military Science classes are taught on the UMR cam-pus and are supplemented by one weekend field train-ing exercise at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. each semesterfor contracted ROTC cadets. The ROTC program concen-trates on the whole person and includes physical train-ing, leadership development, marksmanship, individualtactical skills, and essential knowledge of today’s Armyand its role in our society.

The minor in military science gives formal academicrecognition for the leadership and management trainingreceived by those completing the entire Army ROTC pro-gram.

The Military Science program at UMR is described indetail in the Appendix/Army ROTC (Military Science) ofthis catalog.

PhilosophyBachelor of Arts

The Philosophy program is offered in the Depart-ment of Arts, Languages & Philosophy.

The study of philosophy emphasizes the under-standing of ideas, the capacity to identify assumptions,and the ability to gain insights into problems and puz-zles. Central to philosophy is the application of rigorousthinking to the fundamental issues of reality, knowl-edge, and value.

Because rigorous thinking is not restricted to anyone academic area, philosophical interests are wideranging. All types of questions are considered: do wehave freewill or are all our actions caused? Does God ex-ist and have a determinable nature? How do we tell thedifference between what’s morally right and wrong?What is thinking and can animals or machines think?How does our nature influence our behavior and cre-ative activity? What is the interrelationship betweentechnological development and human values? etc.

Philosophy touches on nearly all fields of endeavorand a philosophical education is very flexible. With thehelp of advisors, students can design their curriculum tomatch their own special interests. Philosophy is also anexcellent pre-professional degree.

Physics is devoted to the discovery and explorationof the most basic physical laws governing our materialuniverse. The working physicist attempts to expressthese laws in their most elegant mathematical form, sothat they can be applied to predict the behavior of allforms of matter and energy, in physical systems thatrange from the subatomic level of quarks, gluons, nu-clei, and atoms, all the way out to the astrophysical lev-el of planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and largerscale structures of the universe. The knowledge ob-tained in various experimental and theoretical investi-gations of physical phenomena forms the foundation formany modern technologies. From the lasers used inhigh-speed communications and micro-surgery, to theplastic electronics used in modern computer displays,the magnetic behavior of the thin films used for com-puter hard drives, and the radiation detectors and opti-cal elements used in the Hubble space telescope, thefundamental knowledge gained by physicists helps toshape and improve the quality of modern life.

The UMR physics department is dedicated to pro-viding opportunities for undergraduates to participate incutting-edge, nationally funded scientific research pro-grams supervised by departmental faculty. Topics cur-rently being investigated by UMR undergraduates in-clude collisions between electrons, atoms, and ions; themagnetic properties of nanoscale thin films and otherhighly magnetic materials; exotic interactions in atomsand molecules excited with ultrafast lasers; electricallygenerated luminescence in polymers; and atmosphericchanges induced by manmade pollutants, such as thosefound in acid rain or in the exhaust generated by highaltitude aircraft and space vehicle launches.

The department encourages its undergraduates toget involved in the many research projects available,and many students who participate in research go on to

present their work at research competitions throughoutthe state and at national scientific meetings. UMRphysics students regularly win prizes for their researchaccomplishments in the annual Fuller and MissouriAcademy of Science competitions.

After receiving a solid foundation in the basicphysics governing the behavior of matter, energy, andradiation, the undergraduate physics major is able tochoose among many advanced level courses to satisfytheir particular interests in various fields of modernphysics. Courses available to upper level physics majorsinclude advanced electricity and magnetism, classicaland modern optics, astrophysics, physical mechanics,cloud and aerosol physics, quantum mechanics, gener-al relativity, thermal physics, solid state physics, andlaser physics. The curriculum also includes advancedlaboratory courses where students design and partici-pate in original research with other enthusiastic physicsmajors. Many additional technical courses are availableto physics majors in applied areas of other disciplines,such as computer science, electrical engineering, andthe biological sciences.

Your undergraduate program will cover a range offundamental topics and will include substantial labora-tory training. In addition, the program is designed withmany electives that allow physics majors to tailor theirundergraduate education to their own particular inter-ests. As a physics major you will have the flexibility todevelop a program that best suits your interest andneeds. With 50 credit hours in physics, 23 in mathe-matics, 9 in chemistry, and 3 in computer science, therest of the 128 required hours are in electives that youselect in consultation with your advisor.

Many physics majors choose to use their electivesto study other technical areas, such as mathematics,computer science, or electrical engineering. Some stu-dents get dual bachelor’s degrees, for example, withtheir second degree in computer science, chemistry, ormathematics. Because there is considerable overlap indegree requirements between physics and other tech-nical and scientific disciplines, a dual degree usually re-quires no more than one extra semester of undergrad-uate study. The best curriculum for each student seek-ing a dual degree is determined in planning sessionswith his or her advisor.

An undergraduate degree in physics provides oppor-tunities for a wide range of careers. Over two-thirds ofour graduates go on to graduate school, many at someof the most prestigious first-tier schools in the country.Those who complete their physics education with a bach-elor’s degree have been very successful in finding excit-ing employment opportunities in today’s high-tech in-dustries. UMR physics graduates have gone on to leadand manage major research efforts at leading industrialcompanies, to be professors and chairmen at leading ac-ademic universities, and to work in areas ranging fromlaw and medicine to ecophysics and astrophysics.

All interested or prospective students consideringa career in physics are invited to visit the campus andtour our research laboratories and classrooms to ob-tain a better picture of the exciting opportunitiesavailable.

Political SciencePolitical Science explores the world of politics and

the principles, techniques, and institutions throughwhich we make collective decisions and resolve groupconflicts. An understanding of politics is an especiallyuseful skill for anyone entering a technical career, be-cause so much of modern science and technology is em-broiled in political controversy.

At UMR, courses are offered in American Politics,Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Polit-ical Theory. If you wish to pursue a specialized investi-gation of politics, a minor in political science is available.

PsychologyBachelor of ScienceBachelor of Arts

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and be-havior. Psychology is both a natural science, whichstresses the cognitive and physiological causes of be-havior, and a social science, which is directed at under-standing how human behavior is affected by cultural andsocial factors. As a psychology major at UMR, you will beexposed to the many diverse areas of psychology.

Perception, memory, thinking, personality, emo-tion, motivation, stress and adjustment, abnormal be-havior, social relations, and group dynamics are amongthe basic areas of research in psychology. The disciplinealso represents the application of these basic researchareas to people, their work, and their environment.Clinical, counseling, educational, industrial/organiza-tional, and human factors psychologists are among theprofessional who apply basic research to the solution ofhuman problems. Our department provides a broad ed-ucation to UMR students in both the basic and appliedareas of psychology.

The statistics and experimental psychology coursesrequired of our majors prepare you to engage in under-graduate research in your junior or senior years. By col-laborating with a faculty member on a research project,you will gain valuable experience for subsequent gradu-ate studies in psychology and related fields or for em-ployment. Supervised practica experience in appliedpsychological settings, such as human service agencies,is also available for qualified students.

The department offers a choice of two degrees formajors. The Bachelor of Science degree provides a sol-id foundation in mathematics, biological sciences, phys-ical sciences, and computer science. The Bachelor ofArts degree provides a broad liberal arts foundation, in-cluding courses in western civilization and foreign lan-guages. Supporting courses in the humanities and socialsciences are offered in both degrees and the psycholo-gy requirements are the same in both. In addition to thetraditional B.A., B.S. degrees in psychology, the depart-ment also offers specialized B.A., B.S. degrees in Psy-chology that prepare the student for teaching certifica-tion in Missouri.

The department also offers three minor programs:a general psychology minor, a minor in industrial/orga-nizational psychology, and a minor in the psychology ofleadership. The general psychology minor allows stu-dents to select from a variety of courses tailored to theirneeds. The minor in industrial/organizational psycholo-gy requires specific courses of benefit to engineeringand science majors. The minor in the psychology ofleadership is geared for those individuals who would liketo become leaders and managers.

Speech and MediaStudies

Communication is a fundamental part of every hu-man interaction, whether among friends, in the work-place, or as the citizens and leaders of our communities.Because it is so common in our daily lives, too often weforget that a solid understanding of how communicationworks is essential to the process of becoming an effec-tive member of our work and public communities. With-out competence in communicating ideas to others, ourideas—however brilliant—cannot be understood by oth-ers and so are wasted. Courses in Speech and MediaStudies will help students develop the necessary theo-retical understanding, critical and analytical insight, andpractical expertise to be the effective communicatorsand leaders of the future.

The Speech & Media Studies program offers two mi-nor programs of study: a minor in Communication Stud-ies and a Leadership Communication minor. Electivecourses, including interpersonal, small group, businessand professional, intercultural, mass, and leadershipcommunication complete the communication studies
