Welcome to the College of Science!

The College of Science is a community of faculty, staff and students shaping the future of scientific discovery.



The College of Science was created in September 2023 and is home to the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics and Physics and Optical Science, as well as the Botanical Gardens and McMillan Greenhouse.

Science is at the heart of everything we do: inclusive teaching and mentoring, innovative research, engagement with the Charlotte region, leadership in professional organizations, entrepreneurship, and developing the leaders of tomorrow.
