Faculty of Natural & Applied Sciences

The Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences (FNAS) offers exceptional and rigorous educational experiences, both in the classroom and the laboratory. Mentorship is helped by our small class sizes—whether you choose to study biology, chemistry, computer science, geography and the environment, or mathematics. FNAS has over 30 faculty members, three field study areas, and many program opportunities to focus on areas of interest. FNAS provides students with exceptional opportunities to work with faculty on research projects. We also offer exciting options for travel studies and work placements, including opportunities to work with elementary school children in our renowned summer Science in the Valley program. This broad-based education equips you to make a positive scientific contribution in industry, research, teaching, or the health sciences.
