There are no specific Science Olympiads for college students akin to those for high school, but there are competitive events like the annual Putnam Mathematics Competition and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling for undergraduates. These competitions focus on mathematics and modeling, respectively. Participants can find more information on the official websites of these contests. While the discussion briefly mentions unrelated topics like moonshining and home brewing, the primary focus remains on academic competitions. Overall, college students interested in science competitions should explore these mathematics-focused events.
