===College of Science===
UNT has been offering Bachelor of Science degrees for {{age|1917|09|01}} years, Master of Science degrees (in biology, mathematics, chemistry, and economics) for {{age|1935|09|01}} years, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in several scientific disciplines—including chemistry, biology, and physics—for {{age|1964|09|01}} years. UNT is a sponsoring institution member (Ph.D.-granting) of [[Oak Ridge Associated Universities]] (ORAU), a consortium of 105 major research universities that leverage scientific research through partnerships with national laboratories, government agencies, and private industry. It has been a member of the consortium since 1954.{{Sfn|ORAU, "Members"||p=}}

====Department of Physics====
The College of Science's Department of Physics houses a distinctive research facility, the [[Ion beam|Ion Beam]] Laboratory (IBL), which conducts multidisciplinary research using medium-energy ion accelerators (10 [[Kilo-|k]][[Electronvolt|eV]]–15 [[Mega-|M]][[Electronvolt|eV]]). IBL supports analytical and [[materials science]] research through techniques such as [[Particle-induced X-ray emission|particle-induced X-ray emission]] (PIXE), [[Rutherford backscattering spectrometry|Rutherford backscattering]] (RBS), [[Elastic recoil detection|elastic recoil detection]] (ERD), [[Nuclear reaction analysis|nuclear reaction analysis]] (NRA), [[microlithography|ion microlithography]], and ion beam-induced charge collection (IBICC). 

The facility includes four [[Electrostatic particle accelerator|accelerators]]: a 3 MV [[Electrostatic particle accelerator#Tandem accelerators|tandem]] [[Pelletron]], a 3 MV single-ended Pelletron, a 2.5 MV [[Electrostatic particle accelerator|Van de Graaff accelerator]], and a 200 [[Kilo-|k]][[Electronvolt|eV]] [[Cockcroft–Walton generator|Cockcroft–Walton accelerator]]. These systems enable [[beamline]] setups for [[ion implantation]], scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM), and high-energy [[focused ion beam]] (HEFIB) [[Electron microprobe|microprobe]] analysis. The IBL occupies approximately {{convert|4000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} in the Physics Building (main Denton campus) and supports graduate research, external collaborations, and experimental development across multiple disciplines. UNT has hosted the Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI) in even-numbered years since 1976.{{Sfn|UNT: Physics,|2025}}

====Department of Biology====
The College of Science's Department of Biological Sciences supports interdisciplinary research in environmental science, ecology, and molecular biology through a range of specialized facilities. The Life Sciences Complex includes more than {{convert|176000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of [[LEED]] [[LEED#Gold certification|Gold-certified]] research space, including rooftop greenhouses and one of the nation's largest university aquatics labs. The department also operates the Water Research Field Station and Artificial Stream Facility, among the few in the U.S. designed to assess the ecological impact of agrichemicals under controlled field conditions. UNT researchers maintain global collaborations, including a freshwater research and environmental philosophy field station established in 2011 in the [[Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve]] in [[Chile]]. UNT's work in [[limnology]] dates back to the 1930s under pioneer Joseph Kean Gwynn Silvey (1907–1989), and continues today through its aquatic ecology labs and the Institute of Applied Science.{{Sfn|UNT: "Water Research {{nowrap|...}},"|2025}}{{Sfn|UNT: "Research Facilities,"|2025}}

The Water Research Field Station and the Artificial Stream Facility are located in [[Ponder, Texas|Ponder]], about 10 miles west of UNT's main campus, near the university's Rafes Urban Astronomy Center and Soil Conservation Service Site Number 12 Reservoir.
