The College of Sciences makes NC State the university of choice for diverse, high-performing students, faculty and researchers from around the world who work together to solve society’s biggest problems.
Leading the Way in Science
The College of Sciences at NC State connects people and programs in the biological, physical, chemical, mathematical, statistical and earth-system sciences. Our college is where some of the brightest, most creative minds in science come together to tackle problems that affect us all. We recognize the value of a diverse academic community and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for learning and discovery.
We’re at the forefront of several growing areas of science — such as big data, bioinformatics, environmental health science, geospatial analytics and precision medicine — that examine the world’s grand challenges and teach students skills highly valued by employers.
Our faculty are award-winning innovators in their fields. And they’re training the next generation of scientists to lead the way in industry, laboratories, nonprofit research organizations, medicine, government agencies and numerous other workplaces.
Faculty Excellence
Our faculty conduct groundbreaking research, share their work with the public through outreach and communication, and garner national and international awards and honors — all while educating the next generation of science leaders.
The NC State Coastal Resilience and Sustainability Initiative seeks to leverage the university’s interdisciplinary strengths to find actionable, innovative and sustainable solutions necessary to inform the transformational choices we face in a changing climate. 🌏

For some, the Beckman Scholars Program represents an opportunity to gain experience in research, explore bench work and weigh career options. For undergraduate researcher Anthony Kelly, who had already delved into that environment, the program was a chance to envision his own research project.
Anthony is working on a project that he’ll be engaged in for two summer terms and a full academic year, thanks to the program.

For the rest of the month, we`re highlighting a series written by the Beckman Scholars Program (BSP) featuring undergraduate students who make up NC State’s most recent cohort of Beckman Scholars.
The BSP provides funding through the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation to support 15-month mentored research experiences for exceptional undergraduates in chemistry, biological sciences and interdisciplinary combinations.
Learn more about Alexa Kuyvenhoven, who is part of the third cohort of BSP, and her experience with the program through the link in our bio.
