Construction in Progress: Shoring and Excavation for the New Hall of Science, 10/3/2008.

The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is dedicated to providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the world by developing their understanding of the scientific method and its discoveries. Research infused instruction creates excellence in science and math learning for students. The College believes scientific literacy, which we define as the ability to understand and communicate science effectively in both written and oral formats, is essential for students to think critically and logically, and to make informed decisions about important personal, political, and societal issues that will confront them.

The six departments in the College host over twenty degree programs at both the bachelor's and master's levels that feature student learning through research opportunities with faculty members.

The College held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 3, 2008 for the Hall of Science. Supported by the University, and the CSU System, the new 160,000 square foot science building along with the Molecular and Life Sciences Center (MLSC) and the Microbiology Building, completes the Natural Sciences Complex. Within the complex, the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics provides CSULB's principal curriculum for majors leading to careers in science, technology, engineering and the health professions. The new structure opens fall 2011.
