Oregon State University College of Science

Oregon State University's College of Science is a college within Oregon State University consisting of 7 departments offering 9 undergraduate programs and houses 7 PhD granting programs and 8 Master's degree granting programs. The college also offers classes for interdisciplinary science programs housed in other colleges.[1] The college was founded in 1932 as the School of Science, when the OSU paleontologist Earl L. Packard became the first dean, as a result of the dramatic reorganization of the Oregon State System of Higher Education in the same year.[2] The School of Science was renamed to the College of Science in 1974.[3] The current dean is Roy Haggerty.[4]
