Dean’s Message

Welcome to the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CNAS).

All indicators of success in the College are steadily improving. The understanding and implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) have been strengthened, and the quality of services continues to grow progressively. Four programs — Biotechnology, Industrial Chemistry, Food Science and Applied Nutrition, and Geology — have been successfully accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, USA (ABET).

Our highest priority is to prepare the next generation of scientists who will address the country's industrial challenges while providing our students with the knowledge, skills, and training necessary to compete and excel in the global workforce.

We are revitalizing and building upon the University’s Strategic Plan, which ensures that the College continues on a strong path toward producing high-quality graduates capable of contributing meaningfully to industry and society.

I would like to call upon our alumni, industry partners, government and non-government institutions to collaborate with us in strengthening and improving the quality of education we provide.

— Dean, College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CNAS)
