College of Natural Sciences - CSU, Chico

Faculty and Staff

Academic Unit Directories

Our dedicated faculty and staff are the reason the College of Natural Sciences has distinguished itself as one of the best in the CSU system. Our faculty truly embody the essence of the natural sciences — the pursuit of scientific knowledge. They continue a tradition of excellence in instruction and research. In the past year, our national and international scholars worked on almost $10.5 million in research projects, published more than 120 articles, proceedings and abstracts, and gave 160 professional presentations. Moreover, against the backdrop of our cutting-edge research, we never forget that our primary responsibility is to our students. In addition to receiving excellent classroom instruction, in the past year, nearly 40 percent of our students were involved in out-of-the-classroom learning experiences including field and laboratory research, internships, and community service learning.
