Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Technology

at EDUCO - Duquesne University USA

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry! We invite you to take a virtual tour of our department and learn about the opportunities we have to offer our students. The size of our department is small enough to allow our undergraduate and graduate students to have a personalized experience, but at the same time we offer access to top-notch research opportunities and modern instrumentation typically available at larger universities.

This web site will introduce you to our students, faculty, and alumni as well as to the philosophy and courses of study of our department. We are proud of our programs and the accomplishments of those involved with them. We hope that you find your visit informative and invite you to contact us for more information on how we can serve you and your career.

BS in Health Sciences in Athletic Training degree program.  Areas of distinction within our curriculum include contemporary head, neck and spine injury evaluation and treatment, therapeutic interventions and manual therapy, and comprehensive orthopedic and non-orthopedic injury diagnosis and management.

Our Athletic Training Program prepares students to become unique healthcare providers who specialize in the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses.  After completing our program, students become eligible to sit for the national Board of Certification (BOC) exam, which upon successful completion enables them to practice as certified athletic trainers under the supervision of a physician.

Additionally, the Department offers a selection of courses for non-science majors carefully designed to meet University Core science requirements, in a range of topics from the traditional to the fun-filled and even the exotic.

Our faculty are dedicated teacher-scholars who enjoy helping students experience the thrill of learning about nature first-hand. The Department pursues a vigorous research program in experimental condensed matter, experimental atomic physics and experimental nuclear physics, all areas open to undergraduate involvement.

In this program you will learn how to evaluate the cyber-security needs of an organisation, how to assess and develop risk management policies in order to protect well the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of an organisation's information and assets, how to support and secure information and assets as needed to support an organisation's mission, how to research, learn, and apply new cyber-security technology in order to keep skills current and how to apply these skills in a professional manner, including documenting their work, communicating clearly and appropriately, and following appropriate ethical and professional standards of conduct.

With rapid advances in technology, and as generations live longer, more active lives, the demand for biomedical devices, procedures and other solutions continues to grow as well. Biomedical engineers with advanced degrees have even more opportunities for expanded responsibilities.

This 32-credit MS-BME program was designed to be flexible to serve both full-time students and working professionals seeking to become innovators in the biomedical engineering field. Students will have significant opportunities for research in state-of-the-art labs, working alongside accomplished faculty.

Graduates of the program will have the experience to perform research and engineering design for academia, government and industries related to human health. Additionally, students with the desire to continue on to a PhD program or professional medical education will have the appropriate basis upon which to build.

Upon successful completion of this program students will:

• Gain the ability to demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in biomedical engineering 
• Have particular expertise in a field of biomedical engineering through coursework or research
• Learn to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice 
• Demonstrate knowledge of contemporary issues in biomedical engineering with an emphasis on ethical questions 
• Students choosing the thesis option will gain research experience resulting in publishable work

Our program is built on the premise that students learn science best by enjoying the successes and failures of research, so we encourage students to begin research as soon as possible and, indeed, students should approach faculty members to investigate beginning research as early as their freshman year. Students interested in beginning research should browse faculty research interests on the web and make an appointment with individual faculty members to discuss their research. Research opportunities are available for academic credit or on a volunteer basis, and occur throughout the year. Occasionally, funding may be available through an individual faculty member’s grant.

Accounting isn't just about money; it also involves data analysis, strategic thinking and forecasting. Ethical practice is also integral to a company's reputation management, and central to our accounting major. Whether it's in big business or small business, non-profit or government, accounting is a core operation, and well-trained students are sought after.

Students who choose accounting at the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business aren't looking for any accounting program; they want the best. You will learn more than just the technical aspects of accounting; you will become a better critical thinker, communicator, and problem solver.

You will have access to a library of the latest versions of accounting software.  Proficiency in these tools will enhance your success - both as a student and as a professional - and increase your marketability.

Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. With a bachelor's degree in public health, graduates can make an impact on public health locally and globally, conducting research, educating, and coordinating resources to prevent the spread of diseases.

This program prepares graduates for licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) which is essential for employment in the mental health field and private practice. Students may complete the Master of Science (M.S.) in Addiction Counseling program within 2 years or also have the option of completing the program on a part-time basis. Students have the option of taking classes in the early evening and late afternoon. Graduates of the program are eligible for employment in mental health settings, working as out- and in-patient therapists, mobile therapists, substance abuse counselors, etc.
