ATHENS — Students at Athens State University will have even more options for their bachelor’s or master’s degrees this fall.
The university announced five programs to begin during the fall semester.
They include a bachelor of science degree in aerospace systems management, master of accountancy, master of science degrees in computer science and cybersecurity, and a master of arts degree in interdisciplinary studies.
The aerospace systems management program is the first in Alabama to focus specifically on that aspect of aviation and aerospace technology, according to an Athens State news release. Students can concentrate on aviation or space systems.
Students in the accountancy program will prepare for the necessary exam and participate in coursework to help them meet state requirements for licensing as a certified public accountant.
Computer science and cybersecurity graduates will be ready to continue graduate studies in the field or attain advanced positions in software development, information technology, cybersecurity or information security.
Finally, students in the interdisciplinary studies program can customize a study program for themselves using courses from any of the university’s other graduate programs. According to the university, the curriculum is structured to ensure graduates can work in any career that needs someone highly skilled in analytical reading, critical listening and high-level communication abilities.
