Included among them are a Nobel laureate and three National Academy members. In addition, many are fellows in their professional societies, and all have achieved the highest attainable degree in their fields.

At Rensselaer, students work directly with this prestigious faculty; the names, theories, and research that make the cutting edge journal covers.

The hands-on learning atmosphere we’ve created in the School of Science demands small class sizes. Students get frequent one-to-one attention from professors. There’s no way to get lost in the shuffle.

Our esteemed faculty works closely with undergraduates through both instructional and research programs. Rensselaer has a long-standing commitment to undergraduate teaching, and Institute professors have authored some of the most widely used science and mathematics textbooks.

At the graduate level, Rensselaer’s faculty and research centers can give you the research experience you need.
