The 3-year-old** Department of Scientific Computing**, which started as a graduate program exclusively, will begin offering a bachelor’s degree. It is the only undergraduate degree of its kind in the State University System, according to Joe Travis, dean of FSU’s College of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>“It’s a relatively new area as a discipline and one that we’re way out ahead of the curve with,” Travis said. “There are whole new methods of exploring problems that weren’t possible even 15 years ago.”</p>
<p>Scientific computing students should be able to find employment in a variety of fields, including industry, government and national laboratories, Travis said.

The other new degree will be in environmental science, which is the result of the merger of three departments — Geological Sciences, Meteorology and Oceanography — to form the new Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science. The new department is expected to be established this spring.</p>
<p>“I think environmental science is something we should have done years ago,” Travis said, “but the time is still right.”
