Director’s Welcome

Tansel KarabacakDr. Tansel Karabacak
Interim Director of the School of Physical Sciences

Welcome to the School of Physical Sciences (PhySci)!

The School of Physical Sciences was established in the summer of 2022, and houses the Chemistry, Geology, and Physics programs with various undergraduate and graduate degree options. I am honored to be the Interim Director of the School of Physical Sciences, and a proud member of the PhySci faculty.

What makes our programs among the best in Arkansas and the nation is not just because we offer quality courses, teach hands-on laboratory and field experiences, contribute to cutting-edge research, and have access to state-of-the art teaching and research facilities, but because we have caring faculty and staff who put students first. We believe that our institution exists for our students, and we work very hard to provide a supportive environment that creates positive and memorable learning experiences. PhySci faculty and staff have an open-door policy, and always welcome students with any questions they might have. I challenge you to test it! Just stop by and visit one of our faculty members or staff to see for yourself!

Please feel free to contact me, one of our program coordinators, or any of our faculty or staff and let us know how we can be of help. We are here to serve you, and look forward to getting to know you better!
