Community

The College of Natural Sciences believes that learning shouldn't exist in isolation. We learn best when at least some part of our studies are undertaken in the company of other students. The college also believes that science, understood properly, isn't just a matter of study and experimentation, but also of communication, education and collaboration.

With that in mind, we encourage our students to reach out to each other, and to reach out beyond the classroom -- to embed themselves meaningfully in the communal lives of the college, the university, the city of Austin, the nation, and the world. Below are some of the ways in which the college supports such involvement.

fig
Freshman Interest Groups

When you join a FIG, which any first-year student can do, you're choosing to take between 2-4 classes in the fall semester together with a "cohort" of no more than 25 other first-years, all of whom are interested in exactly the kinds of classes you are.

emerging-scholars
Emerging Scholars

The Emerging Scholars Program (ESP) is a challenging honors-level academic program for a select group of entering freshmen who are willing to supplement their introductory lecture courses in calculus, chemistry or biology with additional hours of instruction, a cooperative learning environment, and advising from former emerging scholars.

mai
Multicultural Academic Initiative

The MAI was established to serve underrepresented students in the sciences to receive academic support, advice, and counseling throughout their journey at UT.

resident-hall-study-groups
Residential Hall Study Groups

Residential Halls Study Groups is here to give you the space, time, and support so that you can meet, study and collaborate with your classmates in a calm, accessible environment that has the resources necessary to help you get done what you need to get done.

wins
Women in Natural Sciences

Women in Natural Sciences (WINS) is a program designed to promote recruitment, retention and success of women at all levels throughout the college.

student-orgs
Student Organizations

The college is associated with nearly 50 student organizations, all of which provide students with a way to meet people, get involved, and learn more about a specific field.

mentoring-tutoring
Mentoring & Tutoring

There are a number of ways that natural sciences students can either
become a mentor or find a mentor.

Volunteering & Outreach

There are many ways for natural sciences students to step out past the psychological and literal borders of the campus and engage with the world as a citizen-scholar.

Texas Interdisciplinary Program

One of the ways TIP offers its students a more personal college experience is through activities such as leadership development, community service and recognition events. In addition, smaller class sizes, ease of registration, mentoring and tutoring foster academic excellence.
