What makes science and math at Belmont unique?
The College of Sciences & Mathematics at Belmont University is comprised of the departments of biology, chemistry & physics, mathematics & computer science, and psychological science and is dedicated solely to undergraduate instruction in the sciences. Our faculty excel at developing personal relationships with students and providing opportunities to engage hands-on in the process of science.

The College is housed in Belmont’s new $76 million Janet Ayers Academic Center, which boasts modern classrooms, well-equipped teaching laboratories, dedicated undergraduate research space, and state-of-the-art instrumentation facilities. Students benefit from instruction in a small classroom setting by faculty dedicated to teaching undergraduate science students, coupled with opportunities to engage in one-on-one mentored undergraduate research.

Typically students conduct at least two semesters of research and have the opportunity to present their findings at national or regional scientific conferences as well as the annual Belmont Undergraduate Research Symposium. A variety of opportunities are offered for students to engage in research during the academic year and during the summer. In addition, students may participate in experiential learning activities through science- and math-related student organizations, internships, study abroad, and service learning.
