Explore new technologies at the intersection of science and engineering.

Grove City College offers an applied science and engineering degree that will equip you to bridge the worlds of science and engineering as a biomedical engineer, public health epidemiologist, or technical product manager. Through this interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Applied Science and Engineering, you’ll receive a deep scientific and mathematical foundation as well as the broad range of training you’ll need to face today’s increasingly complex technical challenges.

Explore the intersection of engineering and human healthcare by concentrating in Biomedical Engineering. Or answer the ever-increasing call for infectious disease prevention and tracking by combining fields such as epidemiology, nutrition, and environmental science in a Public Health concentration. Or follow the Technology Management concentration and combine business knowledge and project management to become a product manager. Whatever your goal, be it to develop the next generation of prosthetic limbs, mange the spread of infectious diseases, or help a company launch a new project, this four-year degree will provide you with the real-world skills to succeed. Discover your God-given calling as you apply the principles of math, science, and engineering to solve the complex societal problems that matter most.
