16 UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
(1) Department of Biology
The Panama College of Cell Science, is a Biology Graduate School within Blue Marble University, that administers our programs in Stem Cell Biology. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is issued by Blue Marble University upon the recommendation of the Faculty of the Panama College of Cell Science. This exciting, stand-alone biology doctoral program remains the only doctoral program in stem cell biology that can be completed entirely online.
BS/PhD Stem Cell Biology (5 year combined program for High School Graduates): This program features 2 years of preparation courses in basic sciences leading into our regular 3 year doctoral program administered by the Panama College of Cell Science. Graduates receive combined Bachelor Degree and Doctoral Degree. High School graduates and Home Schoolers should apply to this program at our regular application page:
Apply To 5 Year Program
D.Sc. Applied Biology (3 year program): This program teaches concepts in applied biology, that is the role of biology in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications. This is a multidisciplinary program that is intended to vest the graduate in a broad and useful education that will be useful in many fields of endeavor. It is the intent of Blue Marble University to avoid where possible the training of doctoral candidates with too specialized and too narrow a focus. Rather, graduates would be expected to be able to follow endeavors in a variety of different settings, including clinical, biomedical, research, industrial, and academic.
B.S./D.Sc. Applied Biology B.S./D.Sc. Applied Biology (5 year fast track program for High School Graduates): This program features 2 years of preparation courses in basic sciences leading into our regular 3 year doctoral program. Graduates receive combined Bachelor Degree and Doctoral Degree.
(2) Biomedical Engineering
This is a broad and exciting field which combines applied engineering with current rapid advances in Biology and Medicine. The major goal of this interdisciplinary field is to use design and problem solving engineering skills to improve health care. Examples of biomedical applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, imaging equipment, and regenerative tissue growth.
We believe that the most important medical observation of our time is that repair stem cells taken from a patient’s blood can heal damaged tissue and can repair bodily functions. Stem cell science has opened a whole new and exciting area for biomedical engineers. New designs of equipment and processes are needed in the areas of batch preparation of stem cells, labeling and sorting of cells, cell preservation techniques, clinical diagnostic imaging devices to find such cells, scaffolding and other techniques for tissue creation, nanotechnology, as well as cellular delivery devices. Yet, even though cellular and tissue engineering are our focus, our program is rock solid in all the hot new fields of nanotechnology, imaging systems, fiber optics and bio-sensors, biophotonic instrumentation, bioinformatics, robotics, medical devices and implants. We offer a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree which is the international standard, and is equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Click on the links for more information:
D.Sc. Biomedical Engineering (3 year Online Program)
B.S./D.Sc. Biomedical Engineering: B.S./D.Sc. Biomedical Engineering: (5 year fast track program for High School Graduates): This program features 2 years of preparation courses in basic sciences leading into our regular 3 year doctoral program.

A graduate of this new kind of business program will have the tools and the industry specific language to obtain employment with the largest global companies. You will be hired because you understand their business. Again, we don’t spend any time on superfluous humanities courses, second language courses and general studies…we are all business. This is a terrific, novel, innovative program, the graduates of which will be in high demand. This program focuses on:
- Big Oil: Exploration, Transport, Management, Chemistry, Reserves, Sale and Marketing, Permits, Clean Coal Processing
- Water Resources: Production, Filtration Technology, Ocean Energy, Waste Water, Water Chemistry, Management, Salt Water Separation, EPA Regulations
- Food Technologies: Packaging, Preservation, Distribution, Additives, Regulations
- Global Transportation: Modern Railroading, River Transport, Air Cargo, Sea Cargo, Ports and Port Mechanics, Shipping and Tanker Leasing
(4) Industrial Technology
Engineering without the math. We only offer two ways to a degree in this field:
(A) A combined Bachelor of Business Science/Master of Business Science (BBS/MBS) in Industrial Technology [4 year program]
(B) Doctor of Science (D.Sc.): Those students that have completed the BBS/MBS in Industrial Technology have the right to pursue the award of a PhD degree by completing a dissertation. We allocate 1 year for completion of this segment and many students will be discussing a dissertation during their 4th year of studies. Of course if the student needs additional time, that is certainly permitted.
(5) Chemical Engineering
Two Programs: A Doctoral Degree an a Combined Bachelor/Doctoral Degree
We have two exciting programs, a 3 year doctoral program, as well as a 5 year fast track combination doctoral program for high school graduates, and they are not as difficult as you think!! Dissertation topics are always open to the student to select what he/she would like to research (with faculty guidance and approval). We are currently encouraging dissertations that relate to the batch processing of human stem cells, growth media, and nanotechnology for labeling and sorting of cells, but this topic in biomedical processes is not a requirement.

(8) Department of Computer Science
B.S. Computer Science (3 year program): In constructing our program, we started out by selecting courses that provide a good computer science foundation for students that may be new to this field. Then we added courses applicable to growing industries such as health care, and skills in demand such as security and data base management. Finally, we topped off the program with hot courses in Mobile Computing, Virtual Worlds, and Video Gaming Design and Development. If you find a better program than this, that you can complete online in 3 years, take it instead!!!
D.Sc. Computer Science (3 year online program) A Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree is the international standard, and is equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Our doctoral program in Computer Science is constantly evolving to ensure that we are at the cutting edge of all new technologies. We cover the hot areas of video gaming, virtual worlds, programming for mobile devices, and 3D Immersion Technology used in the entertainment industry. We stress academic scholarship and thinking outside of the box. We encourage both Directed Research and Independent Research. Our standing Directed Research project relates to the batch preparation of human stem cells and the computer controlled imaging mechanisms for cell counting and separation. Independent dissertation topics are left up to the student with the guidance and consent of supervising faculty. Every student must also create an Online Portfolio, being a digital presentation published on the internet which summarizes the students achievements, education, research interests, publications, and other interests.
(9) Creative Arts and Sciences
A new, exciting 2 year online program that serves the creative, inventive, and productive student by allowing the student to obtain a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree through the construction of a substantial creative independent work.
The dissertation only PhD program is open to anyone, from any field of endeavor, and with any interest. There is no age or other requirement, nor any particular academic pre-requisite, although the applicant has the burden during the application process of demonstrating that attendant skills have been mastered or obtained sufficient to likely successful completion of the proposed independent project.
The work may be, by way of example and not meant to include all the categories, a novel, a work of history, an archaeological discovery, a film, a video, musical work, a research paper, a photographic journal, natural environment photography, a novel use of the internet or other modern technology, a unique creation of 3D modeling or virtual worlds, a contribution to robotics, a summary or review of medical technology…. in short--any topic of interest to the student for which an original work that contributes to human kind or society may be completed. Special preference will be given to students who create special items to enhance the University, such as a virtual world area for the website or otherwise.
