Community. Discovery. Impact at Scale.

Inspired by our community, by a spirit of discovery and by a determination to have impact at scale, our strategic plan has focused on delivering crucially important outcomes at one of the leading research institutions in the country for a visionary community of bold thinkers.
Mission
Our college mission is to provide an excellent, research-oriented education in science, mathematics and computing that fosters the success of students, to discover important new knowledge through research and to create an intellectually and scientifically enriched environment that advances a vibrant Texas, nation and planet.

Our Plan and Values at a Glance
The College of Natural Sciences is primed to continue and grow in its role as a transformative leader on campus, nationally and in the world. To guide the development of the college strategic plan and aspirations to carry us through the next five years, we conducted listening sessions, forums, conversations and open surveys with hundreds of Natural Sciences students, faculty, staff and stakeholders ahead of the 2022 college strategic plan.
Community, discovery and impact at scale are the foundational values for our accomplishments today and serve as points of focus for our work moving forward.
Through Core Pursuits
We are changing the world through transformative experiences, education and research.
