School of Business
We are dedicated to transforming the world by growing leaders who are courageous, curious, and compassionate. Our mission is to inspire change through data insights, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven business practices across various fields, including accounting, analytics, finance, marketing, management, and wine business.
The WBI serves as an intellectual and industry center for faculty, students, and the business community. Founded in 1996 as a partnership between the wine industry and the School of Business at Sonoma State University, the WBI provides cutting-edge research that informs industry best practices and program curriculum.
Department of Engineering and Computer Science
We offer a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The department emphasizes experiential education, innovation, and industry collaboration, providing students with hands-on learning opportunities, world-class faculty, and state-of-the-art laboratories with advanced technology.
Our program provides a cutting-edge curriculum with an emphasis on hands-on experience. Our small classes, teaching-focused faculty, strong student clubs and community come together to make learning a fun, interesting, and valuable experience. Dive into the dynamic world of technology, where creativity meets coding and innovation knows no bounds.
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
We invite and welcome students from all educational and cultural backgrounds to join us in creating an active, collaborative learning community that celebrates the complexity, beauty, and applicability of mathematics and statistics.
School of Nursing and Health Sciences
We educate exceptional graduates who initiate and foster the equitable health of individuals within local and global communities. Faculty model a philosophy of caring to sustain a nurturing learning environment that embodies a commitment to equity and standards of inclusive excellence.
Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Astronomy
We are a scholarly group of faculty, students, and staff working together to explore how the world functions at the molecular level. Our curriculum is focused on providing student opportunities to work with relevant instrumentation, to learn experimental design, execution, and troubleshooting, and to practice various forms of scientific communication.
Physics is the most fundamental of all the scientific disciplines. Ranging from quarks to the cosmos, from the infinitesimal to the infinite, and from the applied to the abstract, the study of physics seeks to explain all the complex and wondrous phenomena of the natural world in terms of a few fundamental laws and principles.
Department of Biology
We offer a dynamic learning environment, exciting research, training opportunities, and intensive mentoring of students at all levels. Our faculty are dedicated educators and scholars who engage in primary research to address diverse topics in the biological sciences. Educational and research areas include ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, molecular and cell biology, and physiology.
Department of Kinesiology
Kinesiology studies human movement from multiple perspectives – biological, behavioral, socio-cultural – to prepare students to lead and participate in a modern, complex society. We prepares students for careers or further study in fitness, health promotion, fitness assessment and exercise prescription, research, and the allied health professions, such as medicine, physical or occupational therapy, athletic training, physician assistant, and chiropractic.
Centers, Institutes, and Programs
We prepare and launch Business students into meaningful careers through professional development and employer engagement.
Our mission is to develop exciting formal and informal educational materials that inspire students in grades 5-14 to pursue STEM careers, to train teachers nationwide use of these materials in the classroom, and to enhance science literacy for the general public, with a special focus on increasing the numbers of under-represented students in STEM.
Our program provides guidance to current undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students preparing for careers in the following health professions: dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physician assistant, clinical laboratory science and veterinary medicine.
The CSU STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (CSU-SPaRA), formerly LSAMP, is designed to prepare the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers by providing academic support and professional development to undergraduate STEM majors at Sonoma State University.
MESA is a nationally recognized California academic support program that provides a resilient learning community and strong base to students in the STEM majors.
