In Spring 2006, California State University, Stanislaus created the College of Natural Sciences, composed of the departments of Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Computer Science; Mathematics; and Physics, Physical Sciences, and Geology. The College of Natural Sciences establishes a scientific community dedicated to providing students the intellectual and technological capacity to contribute to and succeed in their academic and scientific pursuits. It seeks to educate students through quality instruction, experiential learning, research and internship opportunities, and strong academic advisement.

Graduates in the academic disciplines within the College of Natural Sciences possess the analytical, problem-solving, and technical skills that are critical to their success in finding, evaluating, and contributing to the body of knowledge in their field, teaching in many arenas and contributing to the well-being of their communities.
