The College of Science is one of five colleges that make up UAH. We have about 1,100 majors in the College of Science, about 800 of whom are undergraduates. About 80% of our undergraduate students are from Alabama. Our graduate students come from across the U.S. and throughout the world. We offer degrees in atmospheric science, biology, biotechnology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, materials science, optical science, and physics.

The College of Science is known for its personalized instruction and the involvement of students in research. Our undergraduates have done some amazing things, such as designing and building a scientific satellite that is now orbiting the Earth. The College has an unusually large percentage of small classes and over 90% of our classes are taught by permanent faculty members.

The faculty of the College of Science is recognized nationally and internationally in a number of research areas. Students work closely with faculty in optics, astrophysics, atmospheric modeling, software design, structural biology and many other fascinating areas. Because of our location in Huntsville, our students and faculty have unusual opportunities to work with scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the Redstone Arsenal, and in the many high-tech companies located in one of the world's largest research parks - right across the street from UAH.
