The Division of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences (MLPS) nurtures leaders and creates new knowledge and solutions that positively impact society. The Division's 10 academic departments offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in disciplines ranging from environmental studies to molecular biology and are home to world-renowned scientists and researchers, including four Nobel Prize winners (two in physics and two in chemistry). Gifts to MLPS Dean's Fund for Advancing the Sciences support the Division's mission of research and teaching, including lab renovations, technology in classrooms, undergraduate research opportunities, as well as faculty recruitment and retention.
