College of natural sciences and mathematics

Research. When our professors aren’t teaching class, they’re conducting real-world research in labs on campus or across the city, and they are often looking for hardworking undergraduates to assist them.

Quality of education. NSM courses are no joke, and you’ll find that NSM students invest a substantial amount of time and effort into course completion. Our graduates are not only knowledgeable in the subject matter when they leave here, but are extremely hard workers with robust skills in time management, problem-solving, and independent research.

Networking opportunities. Between peer mentorship, student organizations, faculty mentors, relationship-building with academic advisors, and connecting with members of our NSM Alumni Association, our students do not have to look far to find like-minded people and grow their professional network. It’s not always about who you know, but who knows you.

Student Success. NSM College leadership regularly observes trends in year-to-year retention rates, building towards higher 4-6 year graduation rates. We use recruitment as a retention tool, making sure incoming freshmen are “college ready” and then follow individuals throughout their academic career. We support our students from the time they step onto the UH campus until they cross the stage at graduation.

Student Leadership. Our Dean’s Office provides undergraduate student leaders across three organizational branches the opportunity to develop, implement, and lead student success programs, initiatives and events that directly impact the NSM student body.
