About CELS

The College of the Environment and Life Sciences maintains a small-college atmosphere in the midst of a vibrant, world-class research university. As a student, you'll be able to enjoy the best of both types of educational settings!

We offer world-class training in the basic sciences, combined with the hands-on learning that will shape you into a successful problem solver.

You'll have the opportunity to study and learn in our prestigious research laboratories and community outreach settings, where you can gain important real-world experiences that give you a competitive edge in your career.

Our internationally respected faculty members are student-oriented and are winners of numerous teaching awards.

Our professors are nationally recognized leaders in the research community, conducting cutting-edge science critical to the needs of the global community.

You'll have many opportunities to gain experience and knowledge through: internships, research, teaching apprenticeships, fellowships, research cruises, field trips, and study-abroad settings.

Our students graduate with a wealth of knowledge and real ability in their fields. They develop well-honed skills that prepare them to be practitioners, scientists, physicians, managers, and policy makers destined for key roles in the life sciences and in the stewardship of our environment.

Job prospects for students in this college are extremely good because our graduates are well-trained and, if they have pursued hands-on opportunities, have experience in their fields by the time they finish their degree programs.
