A Message from Andrew Rogerson, Dean

Dean Andrew Rogerson

Dr. Andrew Rogerson, Dean

Welcome to the Office of the Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM). Whether you are a prospective student with questions about academic programs, or a visitor from outside the University looking for information about the CSM, I encourage you to visit our seven Department sites for answers.

We offer quality, affordable education at the undergraduate and graduate level over a wide range of subjects. We pride ourselves on small class sizes, ample opportunities for students to engage in research, and pathways to success in this increasingly interconnected world. In short, we place great emphasis on the quality of our programs. Our faculty are active in modern research and bring this perspective to the classroom to ensure students receive appropriate training for this rapidly changing world.

I hope this web site answers your questions but if not, contact me directly (arogerson@csufresno.edu) and I shall direct you to someone in the College who can help.

The CSM is now on Facebook and Twitter

For the very latest announcements about activities in the CSM please visit the CSM sites on Facebook-CSM and Twitter-CSM. You don't have to join either of these services to see the postings, just click and take a look. These postings are maintained daily by Teresa from the Dean's Office, so the information will be current.
