College of Science and Mathematics
The University of West Georgia’s College of Science and Mathematics is home to six departments that offer programs in the traditional science and mathematics disciplines. Engineering programs are also available to students through the Regents Engineering Transfer Program and the Dual Degree Program. In addition, our college supports the science and mathematics general education component through extensive offerings in the Core Curriculum.
The faculty of our college is dedicated to providing a premier education. This is done by offering a challenging curriculum that exposes students to innovative teaching and faculty- directed research experiences. Students have ample opportunity to be part of a vibrant science and mathematics community through involvement in departmental student organizations and mentoring relationships with faculty.
All our students, staff and faculty are proud to be a part of the College of Science and Mathematics where we learn from the past and prepare for the future.
