We ask why and
search for how.

We want to make a difference in the lives and futures of our students, in the work conducted by our faculty, and in the scientific discoveries that will shape our world.

Through a deep dedication to the basic biological, physical, and mathematical sciences at Penn State, we’re empowering individual scientists and addressing large-scale challenges in the ways we teach, the research we conduct, and the community we build.

We believe in the power of science to change the world. And fueling that change starts right here at Penn State. By continuing our progress as a college, we’ll improve the lives of Penn Staters, advance world-class science, and further society.

The Eberly College of Science is a diverse community of lifelong learners devoted to advancing the frontiers of knowledge in the life, physical, mathematical and interdisciplinary sciences. We apply our scholarship to build a more sustainable, resilient and just society and expand public understanding of science. We educate and inspire students and research trainees across Penn State with exceptional learning experiences to allow them to achieve the highest levels of intellectual and personal growth.

The Eberly College of Science will be a welcoming and inclusive scientific community that is innovative and responsive to opportunities, embodies excellence in teaching, learning, and discovery within and across disciplines, and improves the Commonwealth, nation, and world through groundbreaking discoveries, empowering the next generation of scientific leaders, and deeply engaging the local community.
