The Department of Applied Science is an interdisciplinary graduate department that offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the physical and natural sciences. The program is offered by the core faculty of Applied Science in cooperation with affiliated faculty from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), as well as from the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab).

For undergraduates, we offer the Applied Science Minor, with tracks in Computational Biology and Materials Science. There are also a variety of ways upper level undergraduate students can do scientific research in Applied Science labs.
