Duquesne is a great place to do research because we’re small. As a freshman I
was able to start doing research which really aided in me getting the Goldwater scholarship.
As a student in the environmental studies program, you'll collaborate with faculty
on scientific research, contributing to significant scientific goals and often co-authoring
publications in leading journals like the Journal of Environmental Management, the
Journal of Cleaner Production and the Environmental Impact Assessment Review. You can explore your interests through approximately 14 clubs and organizations, which
are open to science and engineering majors. These options include joining the Biomedical
Engineering Society, the Society of Women Engineers and the Multicultural STEM Group,
among others, to connect with like-minded peers and pursue your passions. Duquesne University is nestled in the heart of Pittsburgh, a city with 90 diverse
neighborhoods where everyone can be themselves. Repeatedly ranked among the most livable
cities, Pittsburgh offers a vibrant mix of opportunities just a few blocks from campus,
including Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and startups for work —
and three major league sports teams for play!Real Voices. Real Experiences.
