BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of MATHEMATICAL and PHYSICAL SCIENCES is one of the pioneer Departments in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology of Osun State University, established at the inception of the University in September, 2007. The Department offers two degree programmes, namely
              • B.Sc. Mathematics and
              • B.Sc. Physics with Electronics

There are four functional laboratories in the Department that serve the academic programmes of the Department. The laboratories are well equipped to cope with teaching of students and for the use of academic staff for research purposes.

The students registered in the Department offer similar courses at the 100 level but start to offer courses in their chosen disciplines from the 200 level. At the 300 level Rain Semester, all students in the Department are required to proceed on six months Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) as part of their graduation requirement.
The two programmes of the Department operate academic curricular that are tailored along the stipulations contained in the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards.
