上海理工大学理学院的历史可以追溯到1916年沪江时期的格致科，百年来学院几经更迭，从沪江格致科到基础教学部，到2002年上海理工大学再次成立理学院。
学院现设有3个系：数学系、物理系、化学系；以及理科实验中心（包括专业物理实验室、数学实验室、化学实验室）；拥有1个二级学科博士点：光电子物理与器件；3个一级学科硕士点：数学、物理学、化学；8个二级学科硕士点：应用数学、基础数学、运筹学与控制论、概率论与数理统计、凝聚态物理、光学和理论物理、绿色化学过程与资源综合利用和化学工程专业学位授权点，以及数学与应用数学、应用物理学、应用化学3个本科专业。
全院现有教职员工115人,专职教师105人,其中，教授26人（含兼职教授）、副教授33人，博士生、硕士生指导教师50多人，在读硕士生280余人，本科生560余人。
学院在教学上始终把提高教学质量放在首位，积极开展大众化教育形势下教学内容和方法改革的研究和实践，使教学质量保持了稳步提高。学院现有4门上海市级精品课程：高等数学、大学物理、概率论与数理统计、线性代数以及9门市级重点课程：数学分析、普通化学、数学物理方程、电磁学、高等代数、数学建模、光学、分析化学、数值分析。
2006年以来，学院教师指导学生参加全国大学生数学建模竞赛共获全国二等奖以上奖项20项；指导学生参加美国大学生数学建模竞赛获奖36项；组织指导研究生参加全国研究生数学建模竞赛共计获奖226项，其中一等奖9项，二等奖89项，学院连续5年获得优秀组织奖。学院老师多次荣获市级教学成果奖、优秀教材奖；多位老师获评上海市教学名师、上海市先进工作者、上海市领军人才、上海市育才奖，以及上海理工大学“同学心目中的好老师”。
科研与学科建设方面，学院近年来取得长足进步。2011年以来，学院主持国家自然科学基金30余项，省部级项目40余项，发表论文799篇，SCI收录论文314篇，其中SCI一区论文38篇，二区论文72篇，ESI高被引论文5篇。理学院研究生培养质量好，应届毕业生发表高质量论文率和获校级优秀学位论文率在全校名列前茅，2015年以来有3篇论文获评上海市优秀硕士学位论文。
学院党委深入开展创先争优活动，积极建设学习型和服务型党组织，努力打造“格物致知，理崇至真”的学院文化，在近年的校级部门考核中，多次获评优秀。
经过14年的建设，理学院已从原先的基础教学部，发展成为一个拥有从本科到博士完整培养体系的教学科研型学院。围绕学校“做精品本科，创一流学科，争百强大业”的办学目标，理学院必将继续努力，为学校的“双一流”建设做出更大的贡献。
College of Science
The history of College of Science of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) can be traced back to the Gezhi (Natural Science) Faculty of the University of Shanghai in 1916. During around a hundred years of development, the Gezhi Faculty was first renamed Basic Teaching Department and was again renamed the College of Science of USST in 2002.
Our college consists of 3 departments: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry; science labs (including professional Physics Laboratories, Mathematics Laboratories, and Chemistry Laboratories); 1 doctoral degree program of Level II academic disciplines: Optoelectronic Physics and Devices; 3 master degree programs of Level I academic disciplines: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry; 8 master degree programs of Level II academic disciplines: Applied Mathematics, Basic Mathematics, Operations Research and Cybernetics, Probability and Mathematical Statistics, Condensed Matter Physics, Optics and Theoretical Physics, Green Chemistry Process and Comprehensive Utilization of the Resources, and Chemical Engineering; and 3 undergraduate majors: Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, and Applied Chemistry.
At present, our college has 115 faculty members, among whom 105 are full-time teachers, including 26 professors (including part-time professors), 33 associate professors, and more than 50 doctoral and master’s supervisors. There are more than 280 master students and more than 560 undergraduates in our college.
In teaching, our college always regards the improvement of teaching quality a top priority and actively researches and practices the reforms of teaching content and method under the background of mass higher education. Thus, we have been able to keep the teaching quality steadily improved. Currently, our college has 4 Shanghai Quality Courses: Higher Mathematics, College Physics, Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics, and Linear Algebra; and 9 City-level Key Courses: Mathematical Analysis, General Chemistry, Mathematical Physics Equations, Electromagnetics, Higher Algebra, Mathematical Modeling, Optics, Analytical Chemistry, and Numerical Analysis.
Since 2006, our teachers have coached students for China Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling (CUMCM) and have won 20 second or higher prizes of national level. They have also coached students for Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) of America and won 36 awards. In addition, they have coached postgraduate students for National Post-Graduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling and achieved 226 awards, including 9 first prizes and 89 second prizes. Our college has won the Outstanding Organization Award for 5 consecutive years. Our teachers have won city-level awards of Teaching Achievement and Excellent Teaching Materials several times; many teachers have been awarded Shanghai Teaching Masters, Shanghai Advanced Workers, Shanghai Leading Talents, Shanghai Educating Intellectual Award, and the title of “Good Teacher" chosen by students in USST.
With regard to scientific research and subject construction, our college has made great progress in recent years. Since 2011, our college has got grants of more than 30 National Natural Science Foundation Projects and more than 40 provincial and ministerial level projects. We have published 799 papers, 314 of which are SCI papers, including 38 papers in SCI An1, 72 papers in An2, and 5 papers frequently cited by ESI. The postgraduate education in our college is of high quality. The rate of high-quality papers published by the graduates and outstanding academic papers obtained by the university comes out among the best in the university. Since 2015, 3 papers have been awarded Shanghai Outstanding Master Dissertation.
The Party Committee of our college has been keen on carrying out the “striving for excellence” activities, actively building a learning-oriented and service-oriented party organization, and aspiring to create a college culture of seeking the truth with the utmost scientific spirit(“Ge Wu Zhi Zhi, Li Chong Zhi Zhen”). In recent years, our college has been awarded excellent prize for many times in the department assessments by the university.
After 14 years of construction, College of Science has developed from the original Basic Teaching Department to a teaching-research-type college with a complete training system from undergraduate to doctoral education. Guided by the university’s goal of “constructing high quality undergraduate programs, creating first-rate disciplines, and pursuing the great aim of Top 100 University in China”, College of Science will certainly strive to make greater contributions to the university’s “Double First-rate” construction.
