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 chemistry allows students vast opportunities to explore the unknown and to address some of human society’s most pressing scientific problems through the study of the composition, structure, behavior and change of atoms, molecules, and macromolecules. Biochemistry allows for the exploration and application of atomic and molecular principles to the function of life processes. A degree in the biological sciences provides a fundamental understanding of physiological mechanisms and development, providing a framework describing the processes of life and living organisms. Geography studies Earth’s environments, landscapes, peoples, and places, including natural science (physical geography), social science (human geography), and geospatial science (GIScience), to understand how human and natural complexities have changed over time and how they have come to exist in their current form. 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.
