Resources for Science Students
Student Services
The student services team helps undergraduate and graduate students navigate the variety of options for study in the College of Science. The team serves as a central resource for current and prospective students, and coordinates efforts to recruit, advise, and retain top-tier students and provide engagement opportunities.
Mentoring
College can be an adjustment. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone who has been there before support and guide you around the pitfalls, helping you reach your full potential? We thought so. Student success is important, which is why we created the COSMIC, ScienceNet and Tigers on Call mentoring programs.
Ambassadors
Student Ambassadors represent the College of Science student body at campus and community events by using their personal experience to talk with prospective students about what it is like to be a Clemson Tiger. You will experience opportunities to improve your communication skills, become part of a team, grow professionally and form lasting friendships.
Organizations
Participating in extracurricular activities is a valuable part of college, because clubs and organizations present a chance to tailor your degree path to suit your post-college plans. If you want to get more involved in your major, take on a leadership role or meet peers with similar interests, membership in a club can be a great place to start.
