At the Eberly College of Science, our research is widely recognized for its excellence. From laboratories to multidisciplinary research collaborations, we have a broad range of opportunities for you to take advantage of, ensuring that you gain deep, hands-on experiences in your chosen field.
Science Achievement Graduate Fellows
These scholarships are awarded each year to outstanding graduate students seeking a doctoral degree in each of the college’s seven departments who are interested in the advancement of women in the sciences and related fields.
Graduate Faculty
Eberly Science's world-class research offers an abundance of meaningful graduate opportunities.
Graduate Guidelines and Policies
A productive research mentorship requires that students are treated respectfully and fairly and that the research advisor serve as a role model, upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based Master's and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions. In 2020 the Eberly College of Science had six students offered awards and 10 honorable mentions.
Yvonne Buckley delivered a public lecture through the Science Achievement Graduate Fellowship (SAGF) program, and during her time in State College she visited with members of Mrs. Danielle Rosensteel’s Advanced Zoology and Research classes at State College Area High School.
Many Eberly College of Science faculty participate in one or more Intercollege Graduate Degree Programs.
