The Natural Sciences

The natural sciences are disciplines that study the physical world and the laws governing it through observation, experimentation, and analysis. At the College of Arts and sciences they include fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and psychology. Focused on understanding the fundamental principles of nature, the natural sciences explore everything from the smallest particles to the vastness of the universe, as well as the processes that shape our environment and life on Earth. Through the natural sciences, we uncover the mechanisms of the natural world, leading to technological advances and deeper knowledge about our planet and beyond.
