Moving beyond traditional
academic formulas, the Bayer School of Natural
and Environmental Sciences at Duquesne University
is redefining science education. As part of the
Bayer School community, students contribute to
scientific advancement as they prepare for exciting
and rewarding careers in environmental and forensic
sciences, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine.
Participation in nationally funded research projects
and academic and career guidance from dedicated
faculty mentors offer students of the Bayer School
a comprehensive, individualized educational experience.
• Research
and outreach projects take learning outside the
classroom. A unique undergraduate research
program enables students to work side-by-side
with faculty, graduate students and research fellows
toward breakthroughs in molecular genetics, developmental
biology, biochemistry, synthetic chemistry and
more. In keeping with Duquesne University’s
mission – to provide education as a balance
of intellect and personal values – the school
conducts a selective 10-week summer undergraduate
research program supplemented with seminars, outreach
programs, ethics training and activities. Student
participants present their research at oncampus
and national meetings and also appear as co-authors
in professional journals. Most students elect
to continue their research throughout the academic
year.
• Groundbreaking
academic programs reflect the school’s innovative
spirit. Our well-established programs in
biological sciences, chemistry and physics emphasize
novel integrated laboratory experiences, through
which students use state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Recent additions include a degree in environmental
science and one of the nation’s only forensic
science degrees with a fully integrated law component.
Students can tailor their education through dual-degree
options, which combine a Bachelor of Science degree
with a Master’s degree in environmental
science and management or education.
• Pittsburgh’s
scientific community is an invaluable resource.
Greater Pittsburgh is home to a number of research
and industry giants as well as a vast biomedical
community that welcome Bayer School students for
internships and employment. Corporate representatives
regularly visit campus to recruit Bayer School
students. The Bayer Corporation, longtime supporter
and namesake, maintains a professional affiliation
with the school in recognition of its outstanding
academic standards and achievements.
Nationally renowned and award-winning
on-campus student organizations provide invaluable
professional growth opportunities. On their way
to becoming tomorrow’s leaders, graduates
of the Bayer School find rewarding and successful
careers in a wide spectrum of professions and
are recruited by the nation’s most prestigious
graduate, law and medical schools.
