Where it all began: the College of Science's origin story

While science disciplines have been taught at the University for over 100 years, the College of Science didn't become its own academic entity until January 2004, when a massive campus reorganization divided the College of Arts and Science into the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science. At this pivotal moment, the Mackay School of Mines also merged into the College of Science and took on a new name: The Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering. In the 20 years since its inception, the College has been dedicated to preparing the next generation of scientists to take on the world's most challenging issues and pave the way to a brighter, more sustainable future.
