Program Description The Master’s in Integrated Sciences program 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 MIS graduate program 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, students will develop a large suite of transferable skills across multiple disciplines. Through coursework, advising and their own research, students will build a versatile skill set. This includes research methods, laboratory and field techniques, critical thinking and problem solving, and numeric and statistical techniques.
