Mission
The College of Science at UAH is dedicated to providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in science and mathematics, maintaining an environment that promotes internationally recognized faculty research programs, and providing service to the university, state, and regional communities as a source of scientific and mathematical expertise.
Facilities/Services
The College of Science includes the Departments of Atmospheric Science, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics. In addition, faculty in the College are associated with numerous UAH research centers including the Center for Applied Optics, Center for Automation and Robotics, Earth System Science Center, Global Hydrology and Climate Center, Information Technology and Systems Center, Center for Microgravity and Materials Research, Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research, Laboratory for Materials and Surface Science, Laboratory for Structural Biology, Consortium for Materials Development in Space and the National Space Science and Technology Center. The College takes advantage of its strategic location in the midst of the heavy concentration of high technology-oriented companies and agencies of North Alabama. Because of this, unique opportunities are offered for original research at the forefront of science and technology, including problems that are of direct interest to industry as well as to basic academic research. Dissertation and thesis work may be undertaken in areas where numerous opportunities exist for testing theoretical models under experimental conditions. In several graduate program areas there is a close working relationship with the College of Engineering.

The College of Science also offers courses for public school teachers who wish to concentrate in the sciences while pursuing graduate professional degrees in education. In addition to the usual Class A (master's level) certification, a Non-Traditional Fifth Year Program (NTFYP) is available for individuals who already have a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in biological sciences, chemistry, mathematics, or physics, but who do not already have the Class B (bachelor's level) certification. Individuals interested in obtaining Class A (master's level) certification through the NTFYP should contact the Education Department.
