The School of Physical Sciences opened its doors in 1965 with 212 undergraduate majors, 55 graduate students, and 25 faculty members. Today, just over 50 years later, we have 2,104 undergraduate majors, 512 graduate students, and 159 faculty members. The Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics & Astronomy were started at the opening of the campus in 1965. The Department of Earth System Science was initiated as a graduate program in 1989 and the Department and Ph.D. program were formalized in 1994. In 1995, the School garnered international prominence when founding faculty members F. Sherwood Rowland (chemistry) and Frederick Reines (physics) each received the Nobel Prize.
