Florida State to offer new degrees in computational science, environmental science

by Jill Elish

A changing world calls for new areas of study, and The Florida State University now has two new unique degree programs for undergraduates, including a degree in computational science that is the first of its kind in Florida and one of only two such programs in the nation.

The Department of Scientific Computing will offer the bachelor's degree in computational science. In addition, the departments of Oceanography, Geological Sciences and Meteorology, which will be merging into a new Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, have joined forces to offer a bachelor's degree in environmental science. The College of Arts and Sciences, where the departments reside, will begin offering the new programs in fall 2010.
