WCnewsmagazine Western sees MAJOR growth by Sara Halterman WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY Westerns campus has experienced a lot of growth in the past year, but construction isnt the only way in which Western is ex- panding. In the past year, Western has admitted seven new degree programs to university curriculum. Programs range from forensic sciences to construction management and have all been devel- oped out of a growing demand for industry jobs. The new majors not only expand Westerns credibility on an academic level but also give students more choices when shopping for a major to declare. The Department of Engineering Technology is offering two new degrees, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and B.S. in Telecommu- nications Technology. The Electrical Engineering degree offers an hands-on approach for understanding the process of digital circuit control, opto-electronics, and the designing of industry products. Students interested in pursuing this degree are required to suc- cessfully complete the freshman-engineering program before they are admitted to the Electrical Engineering program. The second degree, Telecommunications Technology, is a pro- gram focusing on both technical and business related aspects of the telecommunications industry. Students in this program will study communication software, the electronic transmission of au- dio, video, and data, as well as network communications, busi- ness management and digital signal processing. Graduates of this program typically receive jobs as sales engineer, design engineer, network developer, customer support specialists and network support engineer. Both degrees offer a range of opportunities for students interested in entering the technology industry. Students should contact the Department of Engineering Technology or the College of Applied Science for more details on these majors. Another degree new to Westerns academic community is a new concentration in forensic anthropology through the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. John Williams, a forensic anthropolo- gist, developed the program of study, which launched its debut this fall. Students in this field examine and analyze human remains, re- port their findings, and attempt to connect their findings to possible theories or explanations. Forensic anthropologists spend most of their time in the laboratory analyzing and testing DNA and bone fragments. Williams is developing a forensic anthropology labo- ratory in the basement of the McKee building. The lab will focus on identifying human remains, the effects of decomposition on the body and injury to the skeleton. The Department of Anthropology and Sociology is in the process of developing a Masters degree in the field of study. Classes for the Masters program could possibly begin as early as Fall 2005. Westerns Department of Criminal Justice has a new major cur- rently available to students. The department is offering a B.S. in Emergency Management. The program's curriculum includes sev- eral emergency management, leadership, crisis decision-making, communications and political science classes. Student's graduat- ing from this program can find jobs with the United Nations, fed- eral agencies, non-profit organizations and local and state govern- ments. Another career choice offered by Western Carolina University is a degree in Construction Management. The B.S. in Construc- tion Management offers students a hands-on approach to learning about the construction industry. Students in this program will study construction plans, specifications and contracts. They will also study industry software and large commercial building projects. As part of the program curriculum students are required to complete a 400 hour internship within the construction industry. Graduates will receive jobs working on various construction projects, such as in- dustrial facilities, commercial building, roads, airports or residential buildings. Starting positions can range from assistant project man- ager, field engineer, estimator or superintendent. Graduates with this degree are in high demand and can expect job placement. Another degree newly offered at Western includes a B.S. in Ath- letic Training. This degree is housed in the Department of Health Sciences and is undergoing application process for candidacy status with the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Edu- cation Program (CAAHEP). This program is expected to receive accreditation from the CAAHEP in Spring 2007, and the first gradu- ating class is projected for May 2007. Among the new degree programs at Western is a Master of Fine Arts being offered by the Department of Visual Arts. The program began offering classes in the Summer of 2004 and is focusing on three concentrations, one of which is two-dimensional studio art, focusing on drawing, printmaking, and painting. More concentra- tions are expected in the near future. Students interested in this degree program should contact The College of Arts and Sciences. The academic community continues to grow. With the addition of new majors and concentrations, students have a variety of ca- reer opportunities to choose from at Western. As with all universi- ties that continue to experience development as institutions, the expansion of academia is expected.
