Fighting fires requires knowledge, strategy, expert technique, calm under pressure, and courage.

As a fire science major at the University of New Haven, you will be joining one of the largest, most comprehensive fire science programs in the country. You will learn the science of what gives a fire life, what keeps it burning, and the techniques and tactics to put it out. You will learn to battle blazes, lead teams, and prevent fires from starting in the first place. And, you’ll focus your career path by choosing one of two concentrations:

• Fire Administration: Learn fire department best practices and department command structure as you develop the skills needed to become a leader.
• Fire/Arson Investigation: Prepare for a career in fire investigation, arson/fraud detection, and code enforcement as you earn a minor in criminal justice.

Our facilities are state of the art. Your practical experience in them will include:

• Becoming familiar with modern fire-detection software and alarm panels
• Studying in the state-of-the-art fire/arson investigation lab, where live fires are produced for investigation
• Experimenting with flash and fire points in the fire dynamics lab
• Learning about and experiencing the systems and sprinkler heads used throughout the industry

Technology is essential to our relationship with sound. Recording studios, theaters, social media platforms, film and television production, stadiums, and game studios rely on the competencies of sound engineers in order to function. Contemporary compositions for pop stars, film scores, and orchestras are also facilitated by the expanded capabilities of the latest musical interfaces.

Our Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs in Music and Sound Recording are based on the philosophy that musicians should have technical skills and sound recordists should know the art form they are recording. To this end, our students take courses in three interrelated areas: 1) music history, theory, and aesthetics; 2) sound recording methodology and technique; 3) musicianship.

Professional Guidance

A degree in Music and Sound Recording focuses on the craft and art of working with sound. Our professors are former and current engineers, producers, and composers with professional expertise that informs our curriculum. In combination with courses from the Tagliatela College of Engineering, students receive foundational skills in the generation and manipulation of sound and apply those skills in various ways.

We also believe that these competencies are best applied with an understanding of how music and sound function in the world. You will have opportunities to enhance your development with courses on the theory and history of music. Our instructors also serve as academic and career advisers, assisting students as they navigate four years of college and prepare for industry opportunities

The tools and machines that mechanical engineers have designed throughout history have lightened our loads, improved our quality of life, and taken us from the far reaches of outer space to the inner workings of minuscule nano devices. In the University of New Haven’s ABET-accredited B.S. in Mechanical Engineering program you will join that long line of pioneers, using your skills to design, analyze, improve, and test the products and systems that are essential to everyday life -- and to create those that don’t yet exist.

Through our program, you’ll build a multidisciplinary foundation in mechanical, chemical, civil, and electrical engineering and develop skills in physics, chemistry, and mathematics as well.

All of it provides the basis for detailed study in mechanical engineering, in which you will:

• Learn to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
• Design and conduct experiments, then analyze and interpret data
• Work hands-on in fully equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories
• Master modern techniques, skills, and engineering tools
• Explore the impact of engineering within global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• Design systems, components, and processes to meet specific needs and comply with realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, and political restraints

The B.S. degree in business analytics prepares students for careers that use data to support and inform business decision-making and management. Students learn skills in a natural progression including assembling and managing data, displaying data, uncovering patterns in data, developing predictive models, and using these models to make better decisions across all business domains. Business analytics skills are in demand across a wide range of industries including healthcare, sports, marketing, finance, consulting, supply-chain operations, and information technology. Students are encouraged to develop expertise in a functional business discipline such as supply-chain management, health care management, marketing or finance using elective coursework.

The sport management concentration teaches students to utilize their quantitative analytical skills to make informed and accurate decisions in the sport management sphere.

Students earning a B.S. degree in business analytics are required to complete 121 credits, including the university core curriculum (41 credits) and the business program core (30 credits).    Further clarification and additional requirements are outlined below:

The world runs on systems — transportation systems, food-supply systems, communication systems, government systems, and too many more to mention. These huge systems need men and women with the special talent to ensure they run smoothly. They need "big picture" people — industrial and systems engineers.

That need is steadily increasing as the world’s resources continue to shrink and cost effectiveness becomes paramount. Right now, the demand for industrial and systems engineers is actually greater than the current labor pool. 

With an outlook this exciting, you need a program that gives you every advantage in training for the real world before you graduate. The University of New Haven program does that. Collaborating with each other, our engineering faculty, future employers, students, alumni, and business and industry professionals designed and built an innovative program that teaches you to:

• Apply your knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering in designing engineering systems
• Design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data to improve operations and systems
• Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints — in other words, the economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability factors
• Function on multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively
• Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

You will study, and receive training in, various forms of forensic field technology such as ground penetrating radar, laser scanners, portable instruments, and biometric devices. The utilization of these instruments are critical to modern criminal investigations. Also, restricted electives associated with the program allow you to develop specialized knowledge in areas such as bloodstain pattern analysis, firearms evidence, and forensic anthropology.

You will complete a minimum of 42 credits of graduate work, which includes a required internship or research project designed to fulfill the Master of Science Capstone requirement. In this, you will benefit from the strong connections that the University of New Haven has forged with local and state police as well as the state medical examiner.
