College of Sciences

Department website: http://www.cos.gatech.edu/

College established in 1990\ First Science Program in 1888

The College of Sciences comprises six schools

• Biological Sciences,
• Chemistry and Biochemistry,
• Earth and Atmospheric Sciences,
• Mathematics,
• Physics, and
• Psychology.

All schools offer BS, MS, and PhD degree programs.

In addition, the College of Sciences offers a BS program in Neuroscience.

The College of Sciences provides the courses in mathematics and the natural sciences that are necessary for all Tech undergraduates to acquire skills and basic principles for their majors. A detailed description of each degree program in the College of Sciences is located under the appropriate school heading, as are descriptions of the courses offered. The College of Sciences' courses required or recommended by degree programs in the other five colleges at Georgia Tech are listed under the curricula for those degrees.

The American Chemical Society has certified the curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has accredited the curriculum leading to the PhD in Engineering Psychology.

The Master of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MSPO) program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon the recommendation of the National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education (NCOPE). Accreditation for the MSPO program is effective 2010 to 2015.
