Many students undertake research with their professors, co-publish their findings, and present them at scientific meetings.

Other benefits include:

• A strong pre-professional program
• Access to leading faculty dedicated to providing you with individualized attention and mentorship throughout coursework and research projects
• Small class sizes with 20-30 students in introductory courses and 10-15 in upper-level courses
