The College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) houses 
the disciplines that study natural and mathematical phenomena and their 
applications.  Students gain knowledge and skills within each of these fields, 
becoming informed citizens that can effectively serve society as teachers, 
researchers, and inventors. New horizons are explored and explained through 
critical thought, investigative proficiency, and effective communication in the 
ethical pursuit of knowledge.

A Bachelor of Science can be earned in biology, chemistry, information 
technology, and mathematics.  Engineering programs offered in coordination with 
the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville include mechanical and electrical 
engineering.  Teacher licensure can be gained in biology with life/earth 
science, chemistry with physical/earth science, or mathematics.

The faculty of STEM invite you to join us in the “Frontier of Discovery” as we 
pursue solutions to some of today’s challenges.  You will receive excellent 
preparation for your future education, whether it is in the degrees that we 
offer or in professions such as a medical doctor, pharmacist, veterinarian, or 
dentist.  A degree in a STEM discipline will open many more doors than you may 
realize and STEM graduates are in high demand.

If any of these areas intrigue you, we would like to talk with you about the 
possibilities.  Browse STEM’s website and feel free to contact any of the 
individuals in your area of interest.  These are exciting times at the 
University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and the College.  You will see it when you 
visit the campus.  We invite you to be a part of the future here in Fort Smith.

Thank you for stopping by and we hope to hear from you soon.
