The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences

James R. Sorem, Jr., Dean

The College of Engineering and Natural Sciences has diversified undergraduate programs in applied mathematics, biochemistry, biogeosciences, biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, computer science, computer simulation and gaming, computer engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, geosciences, information technology, mathematics, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, and physics. The overall academic approach in the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences is to encourage curiosity and to transform that curiosity into love of learning. A distinguishing characteristic of our academic programs is the opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in meaningful research with professors. Our classes are taught by faculty members who recognize and address individual student instructional needs.

Mission
