Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology

Rochester Institute of Technology

Mechanical engineering deals with machines and moving systems: how forces, materials, heat and fluids behave, and how to design and manufacture things that work reliably. Modelling, simulation and laboratory testing support the design process. Graduates often work in manufacturing, automotive and aerospace sectors, energy, robotics, and product design or testing.

Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (MIS)

Rochester Institute of Technology

Systems science studies wholes rather than parts: how feedback, delay and interaction produce behaviour that individual components cannot explain. Students learn modelling, simulation, network and dynamic analysis, and apply them to organisations, ecosystems, infrastructure and social problems. Graduates work in analytics, operations and logistics, policy modelling, consulting and research.

Bachelor of Science in International and Global Studies

Rochester Institute of Technology

Economics asks how societies use scarce resources: how prices form, how households and firms decide, and how policy, trade and money shape growth, employment and inequality. Mathematical modelling and statistical evidence run through the subject. Graduates often work in analysis and consultancy, banking, government and international organisations, and research.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

Rochester Institute of Technology

Making systems work better is the whole point here — production lines, hospitals, warehouses, supply networks. The work combines mathematics, statistics and modelling with a close look at how people, machines and materials interact. Graduates often go into operations, logistics, quality management, process improvement and manufacturing consultancy.

Bachelor of Science in Individualized Program

Rochester Institute of Technology

Education explores how people learn, and how teaching, curriculum, assessment and school systems shape that learning. The subject draws on psychology and sociology while staying close to what happens in classrooms and institutions. Graduates often work in teaching and training, curriculum development, educational research, policy and administration.

Bachelor of Science in Imaging Science

Rochester Institute of Technology

Biology imaging concerns the techniques used to see living structures, from cells and molecules under the microscope to whole organisms, and how those images are processed and interpreted. Study combines optics, physics and biology with image analysis and computing. Graduates often work in research laboratories, biomedical imaging facilities, technology development and industry.

Bachelor of Science in Humanities, Computing, and Design

Rochester Institute of Technology

At its core, computer science is about computation: algorithms, data structures, programming languages, operating systems and the theory beneath them. Mathematical reasoning and hands-on building reinforce each other throughout. Graduates often become software engineers, or move into data, security, research, product development and technical roles in almost any industry.

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management

Rochester Institute of Technology

Tourism management studies how destinations, hotels, tour operators and attractions are planned, marketed and run, and how visitor flows affect local economies, cultures and environments. Service operations sit alongside marketing, sustainability and destination planning. Graduates often work in hospitality groups, travel companies, tourism boards and event operations.

Bachelor of Science in History

Rochester Institute of Technology

Human history traces how societies have lived, ruled, traded, believed and changed over long stretches of time. Rather than memorising events, the discipline trains people to work with sources, question who wrote them and why, and build arguments about causes. Graduates often move into research, teaching, heritage, journalism, law and public policy.

Bachelor of Science in Global Public Health

Rochester Institute of Technology

Health care is concerned with how health services are organised, delivered and improved, taking in patient needs, clinical practice, ethics, quality and the systems holding it together. Health sciences sit alongside management and social science. Graduates often work in clinical support, health administration, public health bodies and service improvement.

Bachelor of Science in Global Business Management

Rochester Institute of Technology

Business administration concentrates on running an organisation as a whole: coordinating people, budgets, operations and strategy so that separate departments work in step. Attention falls on decisions that cut across functions rather than on a narrow specialism. Graduates often move into general management, operations, consulting, and planning or administrative roles across sectors.

Bachelor of Science in Game Design and Development

Rochester Institute of Technology

Design is about shaping objects, images, spaces and experiences so they work well for the people who use them. Studio practice, sketching, prototyping and critique sit alongside research into users, materials and context. Graduates often work in studios and agencies, in-house creative teams, or independently across many industries.

Bachelor of Science in Finance

Rochester Institute of Technology

Finance concerns how money is raised, invested and managed, and how risk and return are priced over time. Topics run from corporate funding decisions and valuation through to markets, portfolios and financial instruments. Graduates often work in corporate finance, banking, investment and asset management, risk analysis and financial planning.
