School of Science and Engineering

Excellence begins with faculty members who inspire and challenge every student. Our professors create an environment that encourages inquiry and rewards hard work. Students gain new insights by working with investigators on real-world scientific and engineering questions.

I was accepted to Duquesne as ‘undecided,’ but quickly met so many students that were incredibly welcoming and faculty that included many skilled professors and researchers. I truly think Duquesne is a hidden gem and thankful that I chose it.

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.

Duquesne University's physics program offers a lot of individualized instruction, which is beneficial compared to larger institutions. I've always thrived on specific instruction from faculty rather than learning exclusively from lectures, making Duquesne a great fit for me.

My time at Duquesne was more focused on the basics of science research. A lot of the functional skills developed from this experience have carried over to my time at Michigan.

As an international student pursuing my personal and professional dreams in the United States, I was struck by the abundance of opportunities available to students at Duquesne—one that may not be as readily accessible in many countries around the world. It was a moment of realization that ignited a spark within me and opened my eyes to a wider sense of possibility.
