We ask why and
search for how.
We're driven to create
a positive impact.
Our strength lies in embracing diverse thinking and working with one another. It’s foundational to how we teach and learn, and how we move science forward.
At the Eberly College of Science, our undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty engage in foundational and pioneering research to make discoveries with widespread impact. Every step we take forward is informed by our findings and inspired by our breakthroughs.
Whether it’s supporting our students, doing outreach in our local community, or fulfilling our commitment to service around the globe, Penn Staters are using their knowledge and skills to make a difference.
The future is determined here and now
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.
