Dear Diana: When selecting a university, science students may think they only have two options - attending a small college with a strong focus on teaching or a large university that offers the excitement of innovative research. You can experience both at Duquesne University's Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences! You will benefit from faculty who are passionate about teaching and mentoring students. Yet you will also have opportunities to participate in breakthrough research and gain hands-on experience with all the latest laboratory instrumentation. Your opportunities to participate in research are far greater at Duquesne than at other universities because of our favorable student-to-faculty ratio and the strong emphasis that we place on research at the undergraduate level. These opportunities give our students an advantage when competing with their peers for jobs or admission into top-level graduate and professional programs.
