Overview
The College of Natural Sciences provides degree programs in natural and physical sciences which are the foundation to all professional, applied, and technical fields. A degree in physics explores the physical characteristics and fundamental nature of matter. Chemistry and biochemistry provide an understanding of the physical, structural and catalytic nature of atoms, molecules and macro-molecules. While a degree in the biological sciences ensures the student a fundamental understanding of all life processes of all the many branches of life. Students of the College of Natural Sciences are well prepared for advanced studies, professional, and graduate school.
