Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) is an academic program at James Madison University which combines studies of the natural sciences, mathematics, technology, the social sciences, and business into a single program. Heavy emphasis is placed on the use of computers as a problem solving tool, as well as a collaborative approach to problem solving. Graduates of the undergraduate program receive a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates of the master's program receive a Master of Science or Master of Business Administration degree, depending on the course of study.
