Because of the small student-to-faculty ratio, I'm able to run my own samples
and have a direct line of communication with my professors. You really get to know
everyone, which creates a comfortable and supportive learning environment.
"I did not think everyone would be so willing to help me succeed. The professors
will take the time out of their busy schedule to help you with any question you have
even if it does not pertain to their class."
"While at Duquesne, I was involved in a number of student organizations, externships,
and conducted research - all of which has allowed me to carve my own career path.
My unique experience and opportunities are what distinguish me from my peers and make
me a competitive job candidate."
