School of Science and Engineering

“The Biotechnology program allows graduates to pursue careers in either the research aspects of biotechnology or the regulatory aspects of biotechnology. My professors and mentors have given me the tools, confidence and encouragement to succeed not only within the classroom, but out in the real world.”

“Duquesne will give you opportunities you can't find anywhere else. I was able to get involved in research during my freshman year. I've worked in national labs, visited spacecraft factories and seen parts of the world I never thought I'd get to see.”

“My research experience gave me difficult problems to solve, but it also gave me the support of a mentor and research team. That combination prepared me for professional environments where collaboration and problem-solving go hand in hand.”

“The program is set up for our success. We take the courses required for forensic professions, and I’ve been able to apply that knowledge directly to internships and now my career.”

"Because of my undergraduate research, I came into my Ph.D. already comfortable working in a lab environment, troubleshooting experiments and thinking critically about research design."

“Duquesne made me a more mature scientist and person. I truly feel prepared for what’s next.”

“Starting research my freshman year helped me get the experience I needed to further explore my interests as well as build the resume to land internships and awards as early as my sophomore year.”

"Biotechnology stood out to me because it combined biology, medicine, research, and emerging technology in a way that felt practical and relevant. I also liked that it gave me exposure to areas of science that extended beyond the traditional pre-med path."

“My research experiences gave me a glimpse of what a Ph.D. program will entail. They prepared me to continue conducting research at the graduate level.”

“Having friends in the same classes gave me stability and motivation. And professors who were willing to help made it possible to push through more challenging courses.”

“Through research, hands-on learning, internship opportunities & close connections with classmates & faculty, students learn the value of working together to solve complex challenges. The relationships they build & the experiences they share prepare them for success as scientists, engineers, healthcare professionals, programmers & leaders in their chosen fields.”
