The College of Natural Sciences (CNS) unites the life, environmental, computational, agricultural and physical sciences, and mathematics at UMass Amherst.
A select number of students who applied to the computer science major, but did not receive direct acceptance will be admitted to the College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) Exploratory Track. These students are undeclared, but are affiliated with CICS and will initially be exploring their interests in computer science or informatics.
