"Carolina offers research at the pioneering edge. That reserach includes spending a lot of time together. And we have weekly lunch seminars designed specifically for undergraduates. It gives students and faculty a chance to talk and exposes the students to outside speakers and experts in different fields."

-- Paul Kropp, Chairman of Curriculum in Applied Sciences

A degree in Applied Sciences may lead you to a career in research, product design and development, or manufacturing innhigh technology industries, medicine biotechnology, or the chemical industry.

You will work with and meet faculty members, alumni , and professionals who may help you choose a career path. Also, the University's Career Placement Service provides career-related information, counseling, and programs for students. The office encourages you to seek assistance as early as your freshman year. Counselors also can help you find summer work and internships that could benefit you. For more information, contact the Career Planning and Placement Service ant Hances Hall, CB 5140, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-5140, or call (919) 962-6507.

UNC - Chapel Hill is committed to providing quality education programs flexible enough to meet the needs of students eaning a math or sceince degree while preparing them to influence the futre. In addition to applied sciences, UNC - Chapel Hill offers a variety of math and sciences degree programs/options which inclue:

• Biology
• Biostatics
• Chemistry and Biochemistry
• Computer Science (options offered in Applied Sciences and Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences)
• Environmental Engineering and Policy
• Geology
• Marine Sciences minor
• Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences
• Physics and Astronomy

Changes are nothing new to students in Applied Sciences. In fact, they thrive on changes and new challenges.

Modern technology constantly changes with increasing sophisitication. As a result, it is important for those involved in creating or applying new technology to have a footing in both the basic sciences and engineering. The Sciences and engineering overlap more each day. The field of Applied Scienhces is the result of that overlap.

In the Curriculum, Applied Sciences majors are thoroughlygrounded in the fundamental of science,especially chemistry, physics, biology and mathematical analysis. Students then gain experience using these scientific and mathematical skills to solbe important problems in one of the applied sciences.

In today's increasingly technological world, graduates in Applied Sciences are in high demand in industry, teaching and research.
