University of Tampa CSSME and CNHS

Motto: Connect – Transform – Succeed

The sciences afford the opportunity for exploration and discovery in the pursuit of new knowledge, understanding systems in the physical and natural world, and for bettering the human condition. With the challenges the world faces, there has never been a better time to pursue an education in the sciences, health care or sport studies. Scientists, technicians, and caregivers are in high demand. The College of Natural and Health Sciences offers rigorous, high-quality curricula designed to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Our faculty are excellent teachers, both in the classroom and working with students on an individual basis. UT has invested heavily in the development of our college’s teaching and research facilities and laboratories. The faculty, not graduate students, teach all laboratory-based courses in all of our departments.

Our college continually fosters relationships with organizations in the greater Tampa Bay area and elsewhere to provide students with the opportunity to pursue an internship, volunteer, or interact with professionals working in their chosen field. Each department also offers study abroad courses that students can take for credit toward their degree.
