The University of Utah College of Science

Established in July of 1970, The University of Utah College of Science is comprised of the following departments: biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics. In just 30 years, the College of Science has become one of the largest colleges within the University of Utah, offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. We offer Utah's only Bioscience Undergraduate Research Program. We also offer Utah's only Ph.D. in Chemical Physics.

The College of Science provides systematic programs for those who wish to follow careers as professional scientists. The college also provides courses of instruction for students not specializing in science but who plan careers that require a science background. We educate those studying science as part of a broad and rounded education.

College of Science faculty members conduct research on a huge array of topics, including gene targeting, ecology and evolution, fires and explosions, composite materials, and organic chemistry.

The University of Utah was recently ranked among the top public research universities in the United States. To obtain a copy of the rankings report as a .pdf file downloadable with Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to U.S. Rankings
