Majors Offered:


 

Minor Programs:

Minor programs, usually ranging from 18-24 credits, are available in the Science Department.  Arrangements are made with the Science Department Chair, Dr. Deborah Hokien. 


 

Additional Opportunities:

Honors Program:

The Marywood University Honors Program aims to enhance the academic opportunities of promising and motivated undergraduates. Qualified science majors may enroll in a science course for Honors credit. A minimum of 24 credits are required to earn an Honors Degree.

Research Opportunities and Internships:

The Science Department provides an opportunity for qualified students to engage in Independent Research under the supervision of a science faculty member.  Qualified junior and senior science majors can also elect to conduct laboratory based research under the supervision of a science faculty member.  In addition to research, students have the option to participate in internships which are related to their area of study.

Lab Assistantships:

Qualified science majors may apply for a position of laboratory assistant during the academic year.  A laboratory assistant is paid through the University or the Work Study Program and works in a specialized laboratory (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Microbiology, etc.) under the direct supervision of a science faculty member.  The position of laboratory assistant is a valuable experience, since it provides an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills beyond the classroom setting.
