Room 723-North, 713-221-8019

The College of Sciences and Technology provides intellectual discipline and academic experiences essential to a sound education. It offers degrees to prepare students to enter professional schools, technical and scientific careers, graduate study and research. The college offers undergraduate courses and programs in the Biological and Physical Sciences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences, and Engineering Technology. The degree programs offer opportunities for specialization as well as breadth.

The College of Sciences and Technology places the highest emphasis on quality instruction throughout its programs. Bringing the leading edge of science and technology into the classroom is a major goal which the faculty accomplish by remaining current and active in their fields of specialization.

The College of Sciences and Technology also offers its students rare opportunities for undergraduate-level research. Resident research centers are: The Center for Applied Polymer Science Research, created in 1994 to provide undergraduate students at UHD with the opportunity to participate directly in basic and applied polymer research projects that are of academic and industrial significance, and The Center for Computational Sciences and Advanced Distributed Simulation, whose mission is to formally assemble a human resource base in the field, perform research that supports funded activities, develop software and investigate new technologies which respond to funding agency needs.
