Aerospace StudiesAir Force ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)is administered by the Department of AerospaceStudies and is a program in the College of Arts andSciences. The mission of Air Force ROTC is toproduce leaders for the Air Force and build bettercitizens for America. As the largest source of AirForce officers, Air Force ROTC offers a number ofopportunities for UMR students who wish to becomecommissioned officers by offering professional,academic, and military training. Leadership,communication, and basic military skills are thefocus of the ROTC program. In addition to helping astudent succeed during college, Air Force ROTC alsofosters self-confidence and self-discipline.

Opportunities in the Air Force are excellent, withover 100 possible career fields available. Careerfield availability depends on academic discipline,medical condition, desires of the individual, andneeds of the Air Force. As newly commissionedsecond lieutenants on active duty, Air Force ROTCgraduates can serve worldwide, performingchallenging and rewarding duties in highly technical,scientific, and operational areas such as design,research, engineering, systems development, spaceoperations, computer science, procurement flying,management, acquisition, and maintenance.

Although Air Force ROTC is set up as a four-yearprogram, students can choose a four, three, or two-year course of study. The first two years of theprogram, called the General Military Course (GMC),cover basic introductory military topics as well ascommunication and leadership. The final two yearsof the program, called the Professional OfficerCourse (POC), cover topics such as leadership,management, doctrine, international events, quality,communication, and officership. In addition to theacademic ROTC class, all cadets attend up to a oneand a half-hour leadership laboratory each week.Leadership laboratory provides cadets with theknowledge and practical command and staffleadership experience in preparation for active dutyas Air Force officers. It is largely cadet planned,directed, and centered.

Scholarships, which can cover up to full tuitionand fees, are available to qualified cadets. A monthly$200 stipend is given during the academic year toeach cadet on scholarship and also to members ofthe POC. Students who receive an AFROTCscholarship also receive an annual $2000supplement from UMR, which will currently covermost room costs excluding board. ROTC scholarshiprecipients are eligible to receive other UMRscholarships. Students do not have to be on ascholarship to complete our program and be an AirForce officer.

There is no obligation connected in taking AirForce ROTC during the freshman and sophomore

years. Obligations begin only at the start of astudent’s last two years of the program or after aROTC scholarship is awarded and activated.

Students usually attend summer field trainingprior to their junior year, before elevation into thePOC. Entrance into the POC is based on anextensive evaluation and selection process duringthe student’s sophomore year. Cadets whocomplete the POC in good standing and earn theiracademic degree are commissioned as secondlieutenants and serve on active duty for four or moreyears, depending on their selected Air Force careerfield. Pilots incur a ten-year active duty servicecommitment after completing undergraduate pilottraining. Navigators incur a six-year active dutyservice commitment after completing undergraduatenavigator training.

The Air Force ROTC unit at UMR is organized asan objective wing, with associate groups, squadrons,and flights. Freshmen and sophomore cadets areassigned to one of the flights. They receiveinstruction from POC cadets in basic militarycustoms and courtesies, drill movements, and manyother facets of Air Force operations. Additionally,they are offered the opportunity to visit Air Forcebases and discuss career opportunities with Air Forcemembers. Junior and senior cadets are assignedand rotated through various leadership positions,gaining experience in management procedures.

Biological SciencesBachelor of Science

Biological sciences or biology is the study of lifeand living organisms. Biological Sciences embracesa vast and rapidly expanding body of knowledge,including many details of:

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

organs and organ systems, whole multi-cellularplants, animals, and fungi,

• the complex structure, function, and behavior ofindividuals, populations, communities,ecosystems, and the entire biosphere.

Biology also draws on the physical sciences(chemistry, physics, mathematics, and earthsciences) as well as the behavioral sciences foranalysis and interpretation of life’s varied processesand interrelationships.

The study of biology or biological sciences maybecome the academic foundation for many careerand postgraduate opportunities in:• Industry and government (chemical, food,

agriculture, pharmaceutical, environmental,research)

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

other health professions.

The core curriculum required of all biologicalsciences majors consists of basic course work inintroductory biology, zoology, botany, cellularbiology (biochemistry & biophysics), microbiology,genetics, and ecology. A variety of advancedcourses offer greater depth, detail and specificinformation leading to proficiency and preparationfor employment and other postgraduate activities.

At UMR faculty members active in research teachall biological sciences courses. Classes are small,providing exceptional opportunity for discussion andindividual attention. Undergraduate students areencouraged to participate in current researchprojects, learning techniques and developing skills

The Computer Science Department educatesstudents in a broad range of areas in computerscience. Computer Science students take courses inthe design and implementation of software systemsand the algorithms (problem solving techniques)used to solve “real world” problems in business,industry, and engineering or as preparation forgraduate study. While instruction and research areon the leading edge of computing, the Departmentendeavors to keep class size small to facilitatestudent and faculty interactions. In addition tocomputer science courses, the Department’sundergraduate program requires students to beeducated in a broad range of general educationcourses. During their senior year, all computerscience seniors take the capstone course that givesthem “real world” experience working with teamscomposed of fellow students and practicingcomputer scientists. These teams design,implement, test, and maintain actual softwaresystems. (The sample curriculum shown belowprovides more detail.)

The Computer Science faculty has a broad rangeof scholarly interests. These interests includecomputational science, graphics and robotics,information systems (traditional and multimedia),intelligent systems (artificial intelligence), paralleland distributed computing, web computing, as wellas software engineering. Faculty are not onlyactively doing research in these areas, theyintegrate their research experiences with theclassroom experiences of undergraduates as well asgraduates.

Computer science graduates from UMR work in avariety of environments not only around the worldbut also in space. Some work for large companies,others prefer smaller companies. Many of ourgraduates have started their own companies.Regardless of their choice of employment, UMRComputer Science graduates are in high demand as

evidenced by the number of companies whospecifically recruit our graduates.

The Computer Science Department at UMR makesuse of both its own laboratories as well as universitycomputing facilities. The Department maintainsseveral laboratories including the followinginstructional laboratories,

• Instructional Workstation Laboratory thatprovides Unix workstations,

• Instructional PC Laboratory consisting of PCcomputing platforms, and the

• Computer Science Learning Center

Research laboratories provide support for bothundergraduate and graduate students. Theselaboratories include:

• Software Engineering Laboratory• Experimental Computation Laboratory• Intelligent Knowledge Management Laboratory• Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory

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

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

EconomicsBachelor of Arts

Bachelor of ScienceMaster of Arts

Master of Arts available as a cooperative degreeprogram with the Economics Department of theUniversity of Missouri-St. Louis. A maximum of 12graduate semester hours may be taken at UMR.

Economics has been called the “science ofscarcity.” It is the study of how individuals allocatescarce resources for production in order to satisfytheir human needs and wants.

Economics can be broadly divided into twocategories: microeconomics, the study of how theprices of resources and products are determinedwithin various market and firm structures; andmacroeconomics, the study of strategies formanaging the U.S. economy within a globalenvironment to attain the goals of full employment,stability and growth.

As an economics major, you will study many ofthe concepts of microeconomics, including firm

structures, markets and market failures, and pricedetermination; and the macroeconomics concepts ofinflation, unemployment, international trade andpayments, and the effectiveness of governmentpolicy.

The economics program allows for the flexibilityof selecting either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor ofScience programs, depending on which best fits yourgoals and skills. Either degree will provide you withthe necessary skills to compete effectively in the jobmarket or succeed in graduate school.

Students wishing to minor in economics mayselect from a variety of courses tailored to their ownneeds. Specific tracks are available inenergy/technology, international, financial, andbusiness economics, and accounting and finance.

Students majoring in an academic area at UMRother than economics can pursue a secondary B.A.or B.S. in economics to accompany their primarymajor. See the department chair of economics formore details on this academic option.

The UMR Economics Department has in place acooperative Bachelor of Science/Master of Science inAccounting with the College of Business and PublicAdministration at the University of Missouri-Columbia. A student can take at UMR up to 90hours of the 150 hours required for the BS/MS inaccounting. The remaining 60 hours must be takenat Columbia. After completing the 90 hours at UMRthe student must take the GRE exam and beadmitted into the UMC graduate program.

History is a response to the eternal desire ofhuman beings to know more about themselves. Forthis reason, history students experience a variety ofcourses, which emphasize the importance of people,their individual choices, their values and their waysof seeing themselves and their world. Historymajors study man’s accumulated heritage from thefossil past to the nuclear present.

This varied course of study includes fundamentalsurvey classes, specific chronological or topicalinvestigations, and special topic seminars. At UMRindividuals who hold Ph.D. degrees and arepublishing scholars teach virtually all of your history


and political science courses. The hallmark of theprogram is individual attention. In upper-levelcourses, efforts are made to keep class sizes smallenough to enable discussion, which in turn providesfor a greater breadth of knowledge and depth ofunderstanding, and for personal student-professorassociations.

As a history major you learn to analyzeinformation, communicate effectively, and engage inresearch. Such skills are useful for careers ingovernment service, business, industry, and socialservice institutions, as well as being the fundamentalrequisites for graduate and professional studiesbeyond the undergraduate degree.

If you plan to become a secondary school historyteacher, you can fulfill the general requirements forthe Bachelor of Arts degree, the requirements forthe history major, and the requirements for Missouricertification in the teaching of history. SeeEducation for further information. Contact the UMRhistory department for advising.

A minor in history is an option for non-majorswho wish to complement their major field of study.This five-course option allows you to gain a broaderperspective on human events and to develop yourabilities in historical analysis.

ManagementSystems

Bachelor of Science

If you are interested in both computers andworking with people, you should consider a major inmanagement systems. A management systemsdegree is excellent preparation for the fastestgrowing sector of the job market.

Today’s business environments have a criticalneed for professionals who have an understanding ofinformation technologies; who feel comfortable in anelectronic environment; and who are able tosynthesize, analyze, and learn from vast amounts ofsymbolic information. These individuals are neededto develop technology’s great potential to supportbusiness processes, decision making, andcommunication.

Overview of the MajorAs a management systems major, you will take

courses that are rigorous and oriented towardbuilding the foundation necessary for lifetimelearning. Studying at Missouri’s technologicaluniversity, you will benefit from the world classcomputer environment and your association withexcellent students from around the country and theworld. Twenty-four hours a day access to state-of-the-art computer systems and the opportunities forresearch, demonstrations and classes in high-techlabs around campus are available to all students.

In management systems, you will receive a broadeducation; the curriculum integrates computerscience, management, economics, statistics, andpsychology courses. In computer science, you willlearn computer languages such as C++ and COBOL,as well as system analysis and design. Issues suchas human factors in design and safety, howorganizations function and factors leading toeffective teamwork and leadership will be studied inyour psychology courses. Through economicscourses you will learn about economic forces andpolicies in the United States and the world. You willalso take traditional business courses likemanagement, accounting and managementinformation systems.

Pre-Professional ExperienceStudents in the program are strongly encouraged

to do summer internships or co-ops with companiesbefore they graduate. There are many richopportunities and students benefit greatly in termsof their education and the edge they have seekingfull-time employment once they graduate. Over thepast few years, the monthly salary for managementsystems students doing co-op’s has been one of thehighest on campus, according to figures publishedby the UM-Rolla Career Opportunities Center. The

average starting salary for management systemsgraduates is around the UM-Rolla average.

Army ROTCcan help you succeed during college as well as aftergraduation. You can gain the confidence and self-discipline needed to meet the academic challenge ofUMR through military science courses and canacquire the leadership skills, which will impressemployers when you enter the work force.

The Army ROTC program is flexible, and allowsstudents to participate in the first two years of theprogram without obligation. Alternate entryprograms for students with prior military service,transfer students, and students serving in the ArmyReserve or National Guard are available. TheAdvanced Course, Junior and Senior years), focuseson preparing cadets for officership, and requires acommitment to the ROTC program. Students whowish to take Military Science courses, but who do notwish to participate in Army ROTC, may do so withthe approval of the Department Chairman.

Military Science classes are taught on the UMRcampus, and are supplemented by one weekendfield training exercise at Fort Leonard Wood, MO.each semester for ROTC cadets. The ROTC programconcentrates on the whole person and includesphysical training, leadership development,marksmanship, individual tactical skills, and


essential knowledge of today’s Army and its role inour society.

The minor in military science gives formalacademic recognition for the leadership andmanagement training received by those completingthe Army ROTC program.

The Military Science program at UMR isdescribed in detail in the Appendix/Army ROTC(Military Science) of this catalog.

PhilosophyBachelor of Arts

The study of philosophy emphasizes theunderstanding of ideas, the capacity to identifyassumptions, and the ability to gain insights intoproblems and puzzles. Central to philosophy is theapplication of rigorous thinking to the fundamentalissues of reality, knowledge, and value.

Because rigorous thinking is not restricted to anyone academic area, philosophical interests are wideranging. All types of questions are considered: dowe have freewill or are all our actions caused? DoesGod exist and have a determinable nature? How dowe tell the difference between what’s morally rightand wrong? What is thinking and can animals ormachines think? How does our nature influence ourbehavior and creative activity? What is theinterrelationship between technological developmentand human values? etc.

Philosophy touches on nearly all fields of endeavorand a philosophical education is very flexible. Withthe help of advisors, students can design theircurriculum to match their own special interests.Philosophy is also an excellent pre-professionaldegree.

PhysicsBachelor of ScienceMaster of Science

Master of Science for TeachersDoctor of Philosophy

Physics is devoted to the discovery andexploration of the most basic physical lawsgoverning our material universe. The workingphysicist attempts to express these laws in theirmost elegant mathematical form, so that they canbe applied to predict the behavior of all forms ofmatter and energy, in physical systems that rangefrom the subatomic level of quarks, gluons, nuclei,and atoms, all the out way to the astrophysical levelof planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and largerscale structures of the universe. The knowledgeobtained in various experimental and theoreticalinvestigations of physical phenomena forms the

foundation for many modern technologies. From thelasers used in high-speed communications andmicro-surgery, to the plastic electronics used inmodern computer displays, the magnetic behavior ofthe thin films used for computer hard drives, and theradiation detectors and optical elements used in theHubble space telescope, the fundamental knowledgegained by physicists helps to shape and improve thequality of modern life.

The UMR physics department is dedicated toproviding opportunities for undergraduates toparticipate in cutting-edge, nationally fundedscientific research programs supervised bydepartmental faculty. Topics currently beinginvestigated by UMR undergraduates includecollisions between electrons, atoms, and ions; themagnetic properties of nanoscale thin films andother highly magnetic materials; exotic interactionsin atoms and molecules excited with ultrafast lasers;electrically generated luminescence in polymers; andatmospheric changes induced by manmadepollutants, such as those found in acid rain or in theexhaust generated by high altitude aircraft andspace vehicle launches.

The department encourages its undergraduatesto get involved in the many research projectsavailable, and many students who participate inresearch go on to present their work at researchcompetitions throughout the state and at nationalscientific meetings. UMR physics students regularlywin prizes for their research accomplishments in theannual Fuller and Missouri Academy of Sciencecompetitions.

After receiving a solid foundation in the basicphysics governing the behavior of matter, energy,and radiation, the undergraduate physics major isable to choose among many advanced level coursesto satisfy their particular interests in various fields ofmodern physics. Courses available to upper levelphysics majors include advanced electricity andmagnetism, classical and modern optics,astrophysics, physical mechanics, cloud and aerosolphysics, quantum mechanics, general relativity,thermal physics, solid state physics, laser physics.The curriculum also includes advanced laboratorycourses where students design and participate inoriginal research with other enthusiastic physicsmajors. Many additional technical courses areavailable to physics majors in applied areas of otherdisciplines, such as computer science, electricalengineering, and the biological sciences.

Your undergraduate program will cover a rangeof fundamental topics and will include substantiallaboratory training. In addition, the program isdesigned with many electives that allow physicsmajors to tailor their undergraduate education totheir own particular interests. As a physics majoryou will have the flexibility to develop a programthat best suits your interest and needs. With 48credit hours in physics, 23 in mathematics, 11 inchemistry, and 3 in computer science, the rest of the


130 required hours are in electives that you select inconsultation with your advisor.

Many physics majors choose to use theirelectives to study other technical areas, such asmathematics, computer science, or electricalengineering. Some students get dual bachelor’sdegrees, for example, with their second degree incomputer science, chemistry, or mathematics.Because there is considerable overlap in degreerequirements between physics and other technicaland scientific disciplines, a dual degree usuallyrequires no more than one extra semester ofundergraduate study. The best curriculum for eachstudent seeking a dual degree is determined inplanning sessions with his or her advisor.

An undergraduate degree in physics providesopportunities for a wide range of careers. Over two-thirds of our graduates go on to graduate school,many at some of the most prestigious first-tierschools in the country. Those who complete theirphysics education with a bachelor's degree havebeen very successful in finding exciting employmentopportunities in today's high-tech industries. UMRphysics graduates have gone on to lead and managemajor research efforts at leading industrialcompanies, to be professors and chairmen at leadingacademic universities, and to work in areas rangingfrom law and medicine to ecophysics andastrophysics.

All interested or prospective studentsconsidering a career in physics are invited to visitthe campus and tour our research laboratories andclassrooms to obtain a better picture of the excitingopportunities available.

PsychologyBachelor of Science

Bachelor of Arts

Psychology is the scientific study of mind andbehavior. Psychology is both a natural science,which stresses the cognitive and physiologicalcauses of behavior, and a social science, which isdirected at understanding how human behavior isaffected by cultural and social factors. As apsychology major at UMR, you will be exposed to themany diverse areas of psychology.

Perception, memory, thinking, personality,emotion, motivation, stress and adjustment,abnormal behavior, social relations, and groupdynamics are among the basic areas of research inpsychology. The discipline also represents theapplication of these basic research areas to people,their work, and their environment. Clinical,counseling, educational, industrial/organizational, andhuman factors psychologists are among theprofessional who apply basic research to the solutionof human problems. Our department provides abroad education to UMR students in both the basicand applied areas of psychology.

The statistics and experimental psychologycourses required of our majors prepare you toengage in undergraduate research in your junior orsenior years. By collaborating with a facultymember on a research project, you will gain valuableexperience for subsequent graduate studies inpsychology and related fields or for employment.Supervised practica experience in appliedpsychological settings, such as human serviceagencies, is also available for qualified students.

The department offers a choice of two degrees formajors. The Bachelor of Science degree provides asolid foundation in mathematics, biological sciences,physical sciences, and computer science. TheBachelor of Arts degree provides a broad liberal artsfoundation, including courses in western civilizationand foreign languages. Supporting courses in thehumanities and social sciences are offered in bothdegrees and the psychology requirements are thesame in both.

The department also offers two minor programs.The minor in industrial/organizational psychologyrequires specific courses of benefit to engineering

and science majors. The psychology minor allowsstudents to select from a variety of courses tailoredto their needs.

Speech and MediaStudies

Communication is a fundamental part of everyhuman interaction, whether among friends, in theworkplace, or as the citizens and leaders of ourcommunities. Because it is so common in our dailylives, too often we forget that a solid understandingof how communication works is essential to theprocess of becoming an effective member of ourwork and public communities. Without competencein communicating ideas to others, our ideas—however brilliant—cannot be understood by othersand so are wasted. Courses in Speech and MediaStudies will help students develop the necessarytheoretical understanding, critical and analyticalinsight, and practical expertise to be the effectivecommunicators and leaders of the future.

The Speech & Media Studies program offers twominor programs of study: a minor in CommunicationStudies and a Leadership Communication minor.Elective courses, including interpersonal, smallgroup, business and professional, intercultural,mass, and leadership communication complete thecommunication studies minor and are alsoincorporated into the leadership minor. Additionalcourses may be selected in consultation with theminor advisor and substituted for the elective hourswhen the student’s particular needs and interests incommunication warrant.
