Mission Statement
The College of Science, by fostering an environment where students, faculty and staff work collaboratively to expand knowledge in the disciplines of science and mathematics, seeks to provide both majors and non-majors with a science foundation that is appropriate to their career goals and with knowledge and skills that will allow them to function as responsible and contributing members of society.

In support of its mission the College of Science is committed to providing:
- A climate that encourages students, faculty, and staff to contribute to the intellectual, cultural, and economic life of the University and the communities it serves
- Academic programs that meet the evolving needs of its students and outreach programs that serve those within the primary service areas of the University
- Facilities and technology that support the learning environment
- A learning community which ensures students of varying age, ethnicity, culture and socio-economic status are equally well served
- An environment that fosters a lifetime of critical inquiry and learning
Programs and Centers
CSCI Student Service Center provides comprehensive major and GE advising in Health Science, Public Health, Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Environmental Science, and Geology; GE advising in Physics and Statistics; support connecting with major departments and faculty advisors; assistance in thoroughly understanding major/minor requirements, planning classes, and completing necessary paperwork; assistance with registration forms and procedures, such as late add, late drop, late withdrawal petitions, and special registration petitions.
STEM LAB housed in the College of Science, is a community learning space where students can study in groups, independently, and/or supported by near-peer tutors called Learning Assistants (LAs) and also by graduate teaching associates (TAs). The STEM LAB is also home to the Learning Assistant program which supports students both within and outside the classroom. This study space is designed to support students in lower division and major gateway courses in the College of Science. Students are encouraged to drop in for LA office hours, use the space to meet with study groups, work on homework, and build community. STEM LAB services include academic support, group study spaces, computing facilities, and loaner tech equipment (e.g. calculators, ipads), and community events (e.g. Pi Day, etc).
Career Awareness and Preparation Program (CAP) builds partnerships with local STEM businesses and professionals to connect with Cal State East Bay students. CAP provides students with access to high-quality, professional-skills workshops, information about job openings and internships, industry site visits, networking opportunities, and the supportive team of staff who are dedicated to helping students develop strong foundations to achieve their career goals.
Biotechnology Certificate Program
(BCP) is a competitive, limited enrollment program emphasizing close supervision and instruction in current theoretical and practical training in molecular life sciences. It was established in 1986 to meet the personnel requirements of the rapidly expanding Bay Area biotechnology industry.
Preprofessional Health Academic Program (PHAP) is operated by University Extension in collaboration with College of Science and prepares students interested in health professional careers (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, veterinary science, physical therapy and selected allied health programs) for application to these doctoral programs. Students are encouraged to review information on this website to learn more about differences between those categories.
Green Biome Institute (GBI) is focused on conservation and faculty/student research involving genomic profiling and seed/tissue banking of California’s endangered plants. The GBI is the first conservation and genomic profiling institute in the California State University or University of California systems, and aligns with our focus on sustainability and the Biology faculty’s deep expertise in plant research.
Scholarships and Opportunities
The College has several scholarships available specifically for majors within the college. There are also opportunities for employment related to student interests that help provide financial support as well as professional preparation for STEM careers after graduation. For more information contact the College of Science Office in SC N131 or (510) 885-3441.
