Success in Science

Build a career in the life sciences or prepare for medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary, or physician assistant graduate school.

“There’s a strong support system for students at Saint Francis. We get lots of opportunities to work in the labs and on faculty research. I’m working with a professor conducting research on freshwater mussels. It’s very hands-on and I’m really involved in the research process. At most colleges, undergraduates don’t have these types of experiences.” — Grace Sauter ’27, Biology, Pre-Physician Assistant
