The College of Creative Studies (CCS) is home to highly motivated undergraduates pursuing research and creative work under the close guidance of faculty from across campus in the areas of art, biology, chemistry & biochemistry, computer science, literature, mathematics, music composition, and physics. The College of Creative Studies' Dean's Fund for Excellence allows the College to respond to pressing needs and opportunities. Gifts to this fund provide increased summer research opportunities for students, invitations for distinguished visiting lecturers, faculty and classroom support, materials and facility improvements, and provide College-wide enrichment programs for students across all CCS majors.
