In the College of Sciences, education and discovery go hand-in-hand. The impact of our teaching, research, academic advising, and community outreach makes a difference in the lives of our students and our community. Studying science at UNLV is more than listening to a lecture. We provide students with hands-on experiences in formalized laboratories as well as individual research experiences working closely with faculty members in their labs, in the field observing organisms in their natural habitat, or digging for ancient fossils. Our researchers are making strides and studying the universe: from colliding black holes to exoplanets around distant stars; the geology and environment of the earth and nearby planets; the essence of life from molecules to cells, organisms and ecosystems, including disease and potential cures; the synthesis and properties of molecules and materials, ranging from nuclear to nanomaterials, and their technological applications; and foundational mathematics that guide the understanding of complex data and modeling of complex systems. UNLV faculty are heavily invested in the training of the next generation of diverse scientists. Their research engages students from all backgrounds as it prepares them for high-demand careers in STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Our academic advisors help students fulfill the requirements of their degree programs, as well as provide guidance on meaningful experiences outside the classroom. They mentor, support, and empower students to achieve their personal and professional goals. Being active in the community is an integral part of higher education. The College of Sciences hosts the Beal Bank USA Science Fair, allowing elementary, middle, and high school students to showcase their projects and inventions. Rebel Science Camp brings fifth grade students to campus where they take part in hands-on activities that expose them to different fields of the natural sciences and inspires them to attend college.
