Welcome:

We are pleased that you have taken the time to visit our web site and learn more about the College of Science at the University of Texas at El Paso. Within our College are the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geological Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. We offer B.S. and M.S. degrees in all disciplines and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Geological Sciences. Interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs in Environmental Science and Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering are also available to our students. We have a total of about 160 faculty in the College, approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students. A new Ph.D. program in Computational Science is under consideration for approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and another proposal for Ph.D. program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology will soon be reviewed.

Science is an important part of the academic program at UTEP. A new 84,000 sqft biology research building with several state-of-the-art research instrumentation is complete, and a new Chemistry and Computer Science building will be initiated this Fall.  We are working to fill several endowed professorships and seeking new junior faculty in a variety of fields. The equipment available to College faculty, students and staff is excellent and well maintained. We are working hard to expand interdisciplinary research within the College and across the University.

Our academic programs feature close student faculty contact, student research and access to modern equipment. We endeavor to train our students well and then promote their future success as they seek out graduate, professional and employment opportunities. Please accept my invitation to explore our new web site and to visit our College and University.

Sincerely,

Anny Morrobel-Sosa
Dean of Science
