About the College of Natural Sciences

The College of Natural Sciences (CNS)

The College of Natural Sciences was founded on July 1, 2018. South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University strategically realigned four existing departments to create this new academic unit. The move has created an infrastructure that better supports our students and has raised the profile of our research and programs.

Who We Are

CNS is unique because our faculty are doing cutting-edge research every day, yet it is easily accessible to our students, both undergraduate and graduate. They get hands-on experience researching relevant topics, and results from our college are benefiting society in areas ranging from cancer treatments and creating efficient batteries to streamlining fire evacuation routes. Our students go on to become educators, scientists, health care professionals and policy-makers who can make an impact. We’re nationally ranked in several metrics including program value, research funding and excellence in specific expertise areas.  Our future is exciting because we’re focused on growing in the areas of scholarships, outreach, and improving life for all of us.
