A Message from the Dean

This is an exciting time for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. We are well on our way to becoming a premier metropolitan research college, helping the University of Houston reach top-tier status in the process.

A five-year Strategic Plan provides our road map. Developed over six months with input from our faculty, alumni, and the Dean’s Advisory Board and blessed by the university’s top administrators, this plan builds on the college’s numerous strengths.

The plan outlines a number of ambitious goals and corresponding strategies that include:

  • Doubling annual research awards to $50 million,
  • Increasing faculty by 17 percent, from 172 to 200,
  • Building strong research teams in health, bioscience, and energy and
  • Growing $10 million in scholarship endowments for general scholarships and teachHOUSTON  and the Scholar Enrichment Program.

If you’re an alumnus, a prospective donor, or a member of the business community seeking to make a difference, we encourage you to contact the college’s development office  to explore how you can help us reach our destination.
