The Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences (FCEN, for its Spanish acronym) educates professionals with a sound knowledge of Biology, Physics, Geology, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
The main facilities of the School are located in UNCuyo´s campus, in the city of Mendoza, in Park General San Martín. In addition to this, the School, has 4 branches in 4 districts of the province of Mendoza: General Alvear, Malargüe, San Martín, Tupungato.
Each degree course starts with 2-years Basic Cycle (common to all courses) followed by a 3-year Specialization.
The subject of the Basic Cycle are taught in coordination with other UNCuyo degree courses taught at the School of Engineering, School of Industry-Applied Sciences, School of Agricultural Sciences and the Balseiro Institute.

Many Outreach & Liaison activities are carried out jointly with primary and secondary schools. The most important activities are: Libremente Ciencia (Free science), Los Científicos van a las escuelas (Scientists go to school), Maletas Científicas (Scientific cases), Ciclo de charlas científicas (series of scientific talks).
Creation of the Institute of Basic Sciences (ICB in Spanish)
The Institute changed its name to School of Exact and Natural Sciences
