Jackson State University in Mississippi has announced that beginning this fall it will offer four new degree programs in its College of Science, Engineering and Technology. Included among the new offerings will be two Ph.D. programs and two bachelor’s degree programs.
Jackson State will now offer doctoral programs in engineering and computational and data-enabled science and engineering. In the engineering doctoral program, students will be able to choose an emphasis in computer engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, or geological engineering.
New bachelor’s degree program will be established in biomedical engineering and statistics. The biomedical engineering bachelor’s degree program will be the only such program in the state of Mississippi.
Carolyn W. Meyers, president of Jackson State University, stated, “These new programs will enrich the inventory of academic offerings available to our students. The programs also are consistent with the mission of JSU to produce graduates capable of addressing critical challenges in our society.”
