The Eberly College of Science is the science college of Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1859 by Jacob S. Whitman, professor of natural science. The College offers baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degree programs in the basic sciences.
At the undergraduate level, there are programs in the physical sciences (Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemistry, Physics), the mathematical sciences (Mathematics, Statistics), and the biological sciences (Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Microbiology) as well as interdisciplinary programs (Science, Premedicine, Forensic Science, Science BS/MBA).
Daniel J. Larson became the school’s dean in 1998.
Faculty and Alumni
Current Eberly faculty members include seven members of the United States National Academy of Sciences, considered one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a U.S. scientist, and three members of the British Royal Society. Eberly faculty members were the first to: "see" an atom (physicist Erwin Mueller); discover practical synthesis of the pregnancy hormone progesterone (chemist Russell Marker); and discover planets outside our solar system (astronomer Alex Wolszczan). University researchers also designed the world's largest optical telescope, the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. College graduates include a Nobel Prize winner and three U.S. astronauts.
