A Legacy of Discovery: Celebrating 50 Years of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences

The origins of what we know today as the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (PAMS) can be traced back to the very beginnings of North Carolina State University. NC State's founders understood that strong programs in the physical and mathematical sciences were central to the institution's land-grant mission. In fact, two of the university's founding six faculty members represented disciplines that today reside in PAMS.
