Currently, he is in his third year at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law School at Arizona State University in Phoenix, AZ.“PLU really set things well for me,” Kim said. But the

the escalating interest among undergraduates in coursework dedicated to data science and analytics. The highly collaborative mathematics and computer science departments will jointly administer the new major. Beyond physical proximity, these two departments share a profound connection that exemplifies interdisciplinary collaboration that prepares students for the challenges of tomorrow by offering them a comprehensive understanding of how mathematical theories and computational methods intersect

You Ask, We Answer: Do you have Forensic Science? Posted by: shortea / February 13, 2023 February 13, 2023 At PLU, a student interested in a career in forensic science can complete the educational training required by pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemistry or another science degree (like a Biology BS degree) in combination with a Chemistry minor, as long as they take at least one semester of Physics. While we do not have a Forensic Science major, the Washington State Patrol

July 23, 2009 One-on-one: Behrens By Barb Clements Being a marine biologist is a pretty good gig. And why wouldn’t it be? There are obvious perks, Michael Behrens admits, to having a job where diving is part of the package. Seeing creatures swim by as they hunt for food in the Galopagos is a nice benefit, as well as diving in the rocky shoals of Washington state, which he counts as among the most beautiful places on earth. For PLU Assistant Professor of Biology Michael Behrens diving gives him

Now, the Bonney Lake, Washington native has graduated and earned a prestigious Fulbright research grant — a national award that only 20 percent of applicants receive after a rigorous, year-long application process. In January, she

February 22, 2011 PLU students spend 96 hours figuring out halfpipes and VHF signals By Chris Albert Pro snowboarder Shaun White is entering a halfpipe going for maximum vertical air. For hours Dan Case ’11 and his team study the YouTube video of White during a 96 hour Mathematical Contest in Modeling. “We’d pause it over and over again to see how to make a model out of it,” Case said. Four teams, totaling 11 PLU students, spent 96 hours competing in the Math Modeling Contest. (Photo by John

On Exhibit: Cardboard Containers sculptures by 3-D design students Posted by: Holly Senn / May 15, 2023 May 15, 2023 This exhibit of student work is based on an art class assignment in which students were given everyday objects and tasked with replicating and constructing forms using sheets and rolls of cardboard, self-adhesive paper tape, and hot glue. The project covered scale, mathematical reasoning, armatures, product design, logo and graphic design, and the aesthetics of commercialism. To
