The College of Natural Sciences provides degree programs in natural and physical sciences which are foundational 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 macromolecules. A degree in the biological sciences provides a fundamental understanding of all life processes within the many branches of life.  Geography studies Earth’s environments, landscapes, peoples, and places, including natural science (physical geography), social science (human geography), and geospatial science (GIScience).  Our graduate programs not only provide advanced training in the chosen discipline but also ensure the graduates have professional and leadership skills to excel in academia, government, or industry.
