The Secretary has designated the following fields of study as eligible
for the National SMART Grant Program to the extent that a student is
enrolled in a bachelor's degree or a graduate degree program that
includes at least 3 academic years of undergraduate education.

[Computer science:]{.underline} The branch of knowledge or study of
computers, including such fields of knowledge or study as computer
hardware, computer software, computer engineering, information systems,
and robotics.

[Engineering:]{.underline} The science by which the properties of matter
and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to humanity in
structures, machines, and products, as in the construction of engines,
bridges, buildings, mines, and chemical plants, including such fields of
knowledge or study as aeronautical engineering, chemical engineering,
civil engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering,
materials engineering, manufacturing engineering, and mechanical
engineering.

[Foreign Language:]{.underline} Instructional programs that focus on
foreign languages and literatures, the humanistic and scientific study
of linguistics, and the provision of professional interpretation and
translation services.

[Life sciences:]{.underline} The branch of knowledge or study of living
things, including such fields of knowledge or study as biology,
biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, genetics, physiology, botany,
zoology, ecology, and behavioral biology, except that the term does not
encompass the health professions.

[Mathematics:]{.underline} The branch of knowledge or study of numbers
and the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures
and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically,
including such fields of knowledge or study as statistics, applied
mathematics, and operations research.

[Physical sciences:]{.underline} The branch of knowledge or study of the
material universe, including such fields of knowledge or study as
