• A laser radar curriculum through our LADAR and Optical Communications Institute.
• 20 dedicated electro-optics laboratories on campus.
• Access to the University of Dayton Research Institute with $70+ million in annual sponsored research.

The issues facing us today are increasingly global in nature. The context in which we lead our professional and personal lives is steadily becoming more multicultural and global in scope, demanding new levels of international knowledge - knowledge beyond just geography, a few phrases of a foreign language, and a guide book.

As a UD Intervention Specialist major, you will learn skills necessary to teach students with mild to intensive disabilities through coursework in development and content, clinical experiences and community engagement opportunities.  You will gain an understanding of students at various ages and stages of development, and from various cultures, socioeconomic levels, ethnic groups and ranges of abilities.  You will have the opportunity to supplement your teaching license with additional credentials in preschool special needs, urban education, Catholic education, the education of speakers of other languages or specific certification in supporting students with Dyslexia.  A STEM lab and Curriculum Materials Center are among the numerous resources available to you.

As a sociology major you will build awareness for the different types of social inequality that exist, who is negatively impacted, where and how it emerges, and what perpetuates it. Courses will not only shed light on social inequality, but will teach you how to do something about it.

As a UD Foreign Language Education major, you'll learn the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the needs of our changing and global world — and prepare others to do the same. Upon graduation, you'll be prepared to teach French, German or Spanish to students in Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. 

The study of history provides students with important skills – including critical reading, writing and thinking – that will make them informed citizens ready to work for the common good. The study of history not only prepares students to participate in civic life, but is also a stepping stone to careers in many diverse fields.

As a UD Dietetics major, you'll thrive in an environment where hands-on learning, professionalism, leadership, and evidence-based practice are at the forefront. Students are mentored and taught by faculty who are registered and licensed dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) to support your growth and development, both in and out of the classroom.

Students often know they want to study something related to science, but may be unsure of exactly which major is the best fit. As a Discover Science student you will be able to explore the physical and life science majors in the largest academic unit at UD.

The issues facing us today are increasingly global in nature. The context in which we lead our professional and personal lives is steadily becoming more multicultural and global in scope, demanding new levels of international knowledge - knowledge beyond just geography, a few phrases of a foreign language, and a guide book.

In addition to our rigorous academic program, students are provided with many opportunities to work side-by-side with faculty on research projects such as developing improved flame retardants, studying biodegradation of polymer coatings and discovering new photodynamic lung cancer treatments. Recent graduates are employed as scientists in academia, industry and government, or pursuing postgraduate education.
