50th Anniversary
Founded in 1968, the college celebrates its golden anniversary.
Student-Friendly Biology Building
The new building houses state-of-the-art classrooms, cutting-edge research labs, and inviting study spaces.
Building the Future of Chemistry Research
A new state-of-the-art research laboratory facility opened in 2017.
At the Colorado State University College of Natural Sciences, we believe that discovery begins here. Our students are discovering their passions and transforming lives. Our faculty are discovering new scientific phenomena and applications as well as new ways of educating the next generation. And together, everyone at the college is helping to spread these discoveries throughout our state and the world. We are grateful to have you along for the exciting journey.
Priorities
The College of Natural Sciences Strategic Initiative Fund supports those areas of the college that need it most, whether research, scholarships, or updated infrastructure, helping to lead us into the future. Click here to give.
Undergraduate scholarships give the gift of education to bright minds who otherwise might not be able to attend college – or who would have to take out substantial loans or spend much of their time working rather than learning and discovering. Join us in supporting the leaders of tomorrow. To give, click here, and search for “Natural Sciences Undergraduate Scholarships.”
The college’s Women In Natural Sciences (WINS) program helps to support, mentor, and encourage female faculty in the college, providing networking events, speakers, and funding for conference travel. To give, click here, and search for “Women in Natural Sciences Program Endowment.”

Spotlights
Alumni & Friends
Olympic bobsledder and CSU alumnus Hunter Powell shared why he chose physics, how it helped him as an Olympic athlete, and his advice to CSU students.
Students
“When many of us hear the word ‘mathematics,’ we think of numbers, formulas, or equations. But in this exhibition, we ask you to consider something broader. Mathematics is also a way of seeing,” Kristina Moen, PhD Student in Mathematics at CSU, introduces the collection, “Symmetry, Structure, Space: Mathematical Visions in Art,” in the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art.
Research
Synthetic biology – an advanced form of genetic engineering – aims to reprogram plant functions to improve not only individual plants but entire systems.
Faculty & Staff
The 16-member committee evaluates nominees for the National Medal of Science.
