The College of Science encompasses the physical sciences, life sciences, computational sciences, mathematics and data science offering 41 disciplinary degree programs and seven interdisciplinary science programs. The leadership of our renowned scholars and researchers drives an ever-expanding culture of discovery and innovation which embraces all perspectives as we endeavor to solve the grand challenges that face our world. 
By extension, College of Science students are innovation leaders whose disciplinary technical expertise and exemplary problem-solving skills are in high demand. Industry, professional schools and graduate programs equally value our students for their professional skills and ability to collaboratively drive discovery in a highly diverse global environment. Each undergraduate program blends courses and experiences that create a unique path for each student as they pursue disciplinary interests as well as personal and professional goals through minors, certificates and experiential learning opportunities including research and Study Abroad programs. The Learning Beyond the Classroom certificate, open only to CoS students, blends career and professional; service, citizenship and leadership; and domestic and international diversity experiences to bring real world know how to the classroom experience.
