Integrated Science and Technology prepares students for a variety of high-demand careers in growing fields.
ISAT is significantly broader than learning about just one science or technology area. With ISAT, you'll get a foundation in all of the basic sciences and a set of technology, computer and problem-solving skills. You'll then apply that basic scientific knowledge and those technical skills to some of society's biggest problems. In ISAT, you’ll have the flexibility to explore and concentrate in one or more of the following growing fields.
- Energy
- Applied Biotechnology
- Environment and Sustainability
- Industrial and Manufacturing Systems
- Applied Computing
- Social Contexts in Science and Technology
Most ISAT graduates find high-paying, fulfilling careers in these growth fields, while others continue to graduate school or even start their own businesses. The ISAT model of broad scientific knowledge, technical skill and applied problem-solving prepares ISAT graduates for whatever is next.

ISAT Scholarships
The major in Integrated Science and Technology is a part of the School of Integrated Sciences, an academic unit within the College of Integrated Science and Engineering.
Integrated science and technology (ISAT) students are versatile problem-solvers. Studies in ISAT combine multiple scientific areas into one hands-on, integrated program in which students learn by working directly with technology and applying it to solve real-world problems.
The ISAT difference:
- Small class sizes
- Hands-on opportunities in the field, in the lab, and in the community
- Undergraduate research on a two-year capstone project
- Internships and partnerships with local industry and governmental sponsors
- Focus on real-world problems
- Emphasis on teamwork and collaboration
