 Welcome to the College of Science! I hope you will explore our website to get an idea of all the resources and opportunities in our college for our students, faculty, and community. You will discover that the College of Science plays an integral role within the University of Nevada, in our local community, and in our state when it comes to scientific and technological education, research, and outreach. The College of Science at the University of Nevada is a place where students can fully cultivate their scientific curiosities. We emphasize student-centered research experiences involving significant collaborations with professors because we place a high value on personal attention that students receive here – whether they’re involved in a theoretical research discussion, in the lab or in the field. Our college is focused on creating optimal scientific learning and research for science majors and graduate students. At that same time, we will ensure ‘science literacy’ for our non-science majors to ensure they gain critical scientific knowledge and experience that will be valuable no matter what career they pursue. We are committed to ensuring student success and equipping them with the necessary technical and critical thinking skills to be marketable for the workplace and competitive for graduate schools. If you are interested in studying math or the sciences at the College of Science, I would urge you to visit the “Explore the College of Science…come for a visit!” link. We want to provide an experience for you to explore the College of Science that is tailored for you!
