History
Founded in 1919, Matsumoto Higher School became the Faculty of Arts and Science, Shinshu University under the new system, and then became the parent school for the Faculty of Science in April 1966, and was then reorganized in April 1995.
As the school for elementary natural science, the Faculty of Science now offers the six subjects of Mathematical Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Biology and Environmental Sciences.
Through our research topics, we theoretically and experimentally draw on the laws that control the natural world and then investigate those laws at a greater depth. This is like faculties of science at other universities, but the Faculty of Science at Shinshu University has certain special characteristics associated with its geographical location. In other words, Nagano Prefecture is ideally situated to carry out experiments on the abundant nature in its mountains and bodies of water, to monitor cosmic and other radiation, and to cultivate a desire and willingness to search for the truth through close contact with nature.
Such elementary research into the field of nature is the key to the future of human society.
