Students who intend to pursue one or more advanced degrees should select this option, as it designed for preparation for graduate school. Employment with this B.S. program is possible, but competition for jobs is intense and salaries can be low.

This degree is intended for serious, academically strong students who can maintain an A-B grade record (GPA > 3.00), which is the minimum required for admittance into graduate degree programs.
