In February, Uyhazi returned to TCNJ to give a talk, “MDs, PhDs, and Stem Cells: Everything You Wanted to Know but were Afraid to Ask,” as part of the Young Alumni Lecture Series. Read Full Story |
The School of Science provides students with state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation. Our laboratories and other spaces are designed to allow intensive interaction between students and faculty in an undergraduate-focused scholarly environment.
Science students enjoy small classes and close interaction with faculty members both in and out of the classroom. Our professors teach all lecture and lab courses; the School of Science has no graduate students. Most classes have only 24 students, and some elective classes are as small as 10 students.
Students quickly become members of the School of Science community by participating in seminars, engaging in social activities with faculty, and by joining one or more student organization. A broad range of undergraduate research, study abroad, field-based, and internship experiences are also available.
Many opportunities exist for students to conduct undergraduate research. Students engage in their own projects on a broad spectrum of topics, and they present the results of their research investigations at conferences and author and co-author published papers with their faculty mentors.
Upon graduation, approximately 35% of Science graduates have entered health professional schools, 35% have entered graduate schools, and 30% have entered the work force directly. Approximately 84% of those students who have applied to medical school have been accepted.
Science faculty members are active teacher-scholars who work collaboratively with students on undergraduate research and independent study projects. Our faculty members have studied and trained at some of the best institutions within the U.S. and abroad.
Science alumni are accomplished and engaged in their chosen fields. Dr. Joseph Ecker was recently elected into the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors an American scientist can achieve.
