challenges
you to meet high standards of academic rigor and integrity. Our academic departments span the humanities, the physical sciences, the fine and performing arts, and the social sciences. • You can study human remains in forensic anthropology, compose your own musical pieces in an electronic music lab, or conduct hands-on research on Long Island Sound. • Southern was recently named as the host site for Connecticut’s first research center devoted solely to nanotechnology. The center prepares you for careers in this growth industry through experience with specialized equipment, including a state-of-the-art microscope that uses electrons to image materials on the atomic scale. • In addition, four interdisciplinary programs – the Honors College, Judaic Studies, Urban Studies, and Women’s Studies – have their home in the
