It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students, faculty, and staff of the College of Natural and Computational Sciences at Wachemo University. Established in 2012, our college has grown significantly, starting with just 166 students and four departments. Today, we proudly offer a diverse range of academic programs across nine departments: Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Geology, Sport Science, and Industrial Chemistry.

Our mission is clear: we are dedicated to providing quality education and training that equips our students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundations necessary for success in their respective fields. We strive to conduct problem-solving research and engage in community outreach that contributes meaningfully to the development of our country.

With a total enrollment of 1,347 active students across various undergraduate and postgraduate programs, our college is a vibrant hub of learning and discovery. We currently offer 9 Bachelor of Science (BSc) programs and 15 Master of Science (MSc) programs. Additionally, we have ongoing PhD and MSc programs that will further enhance our academic offerings in the near future.

Our college is supported by a dedicated team of 110 academic staff members, including 81 with Master’s degrees and 29 with PhDs. We also have 30 technical staff and 14 administrative staff members who contribute to the smooth operation of our college. Notably, we have 50 academic staff currently on study leave, pursuing further qualifications to enhance their contributions to our institution.

At the heart of our college are our core values: academic excellence, ethical behavior and integrity, discovery, application of knowledge, creative endeavors, freedom of inquiry, community partnership, and a commitment to research and community service. We aspire to be a leading center of excellence in the field of science in Ethiopia.

As we continue on this journey together, I encourage all members of our college community to actively engage in academic pursuits, collaborate on research initiatives, and participate in community service activities. Together, we can achieve our collective goals and make a significant impact on society.

Thank you for being part of the College of Natural and Computational Sciences. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we strive for excellence in education and research.
