Jess & Mildred Fisher College of Science & Mathematics

Science Complex

7800 York Road- Mathematical and Computing Sciences

While the Science Complex is the new home for the biological and physical sciences, the Fisher College’s programs in mathematical and computing sciences are housed in the nearby 7800 York building, which offers additional naming opportunities.

TU Cyber Center for Education and Innovation

As an NSA/DHS National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations and one of the first four institutions in the world to receive ABET accreditation in Cybersecurity, Towson University is emerging as a global leader. Support for the Center positions TU to pursue solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s cyber challenges, encourages innovative research and discovery, develops solutions to the cyber workforce crisis, and engages in opportunities for technology commercialization.

Actuarial Science & Risk Management

TU is designated by the Society of Actuaries as one of only 17 Centers of Actuarial Excellence in the United States, and only 33 worldwide. TU offers both the undergraduate ASRM concentration as well as a new Master of Science degree in Actuarial Science and Predictive Analytics. Gifts supporting students in these programs may be directed to the Dr. Ohoe Kim ASRM Scholarship, or the Dr. Ohoe Kim ASRM Award & Scholarship Endowment.

Scholarships

Funding scholarships, including endowed scholarships, support many programs in the Fisher College of Science and Mathematics. Two programs, in particular, are timely and relevant to TU’s goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Hill-Lopes Scholars Program supports women in STEM. Students receive a stipend each semester and financial support to participate in undergraduate research, attend professional scientific meetings and career-building conferences and workshops. Willard Hackerman Scholarships are reserved for incoming first year students from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute who major in a program housed in Fisher.

Experiential Learning Opportunities

Undergraduate Student Research Opportunities– Collaborative research with faculty-mentors and fellow students brings learning to life. Providing research stipends offers many students the opportunity to forgo full- or part-time work that would otherwise make research experiences impossible.

Student Conference Travel– Funding provides opportunities for students to travel to conferences and research summits, where students experience peer-to-peer learning and make future graduate school and employment connections.

Endowed Chairs and Professorships

All academic programs in the Fisher College of Science and Mathematics will benefit from the resources and prestige that come with establishing endowed chair or professorship positions.
