"The facilities and areas of specialization within the science
division are just what the scientific community and industries
are seeking." "Studying computer science and mathematics helped
me secure a great computer programming internship for the Electronic
Commerce Department at U.S. Steel. My learning experience at Carlow
was fantastic, rewarding, and challenging." "At Carlow, I was able to take classes in mathematics
history, theory, and calculation; attend the National Council of
Mathematics Teachers' Regional Conference; and share in some of
the research conducted by mathematicians." "By providing me with the tools to meet my full
potential, Carlow challenged me on many levels--intellectual, spiritual,
and creative. To this day, whenever I am faced with a challenge,
I fall back on my Carlow background for the basic skills to succeed." "Clearly, through Carlow, I received valuable direction
from knowledgeable, caring mentors. I not only developed a high
level of competence in my field and learned about the world of
work, but also experienced challenges through my internship, which
tested the limits of my abilities and deepened my sense of personal
confidence. Today, my company is among the top 25 largest women-owned
businesses in the Pittsburgh area. I have a full life to which
Carlow made a considerable contribution." "It's the personal touch that makes Carlow so special.
I graduated as a professional writing major, but I started out
as a biology major. Even after I switched, faculty from the department
kept in touch. They helped me graduate with a biology minor." "Carlow's biology program cannot be beat. With
small class size, spacious, well-equipped laboratories,
eager and available professors, and plenty of fantastic class options,
I
received a custom-made education that prepared
me to move right into a great career and pursue graduate school.
The liberal arts
core forced me to open my previously narrow mind and appreciate
the vast amount of knowledge there is to obtain. I couldn't ask
for anything better." "The experience and fundamental knowledge I acquired
as a biology major at Carlow proved to be valuable assets as I
continued my academic training through a doctoral degree. Not only
did I learn much in the fields of organismal biology, ecology,
and molecular biology, I also improved my organizational, time-management,
and problem-solving skills." “I absolutely loved my experience as an undergraduate
biology student at Carlow University. Most importantly, the small
class sizes allowed me to gain a strong understanding of the subject
matter and gave me the opportunity to have one-on-one discussions
with my professors. Carlow left me well-prepared for a professional
career in the Biological Sciences." "I began my college career at Carlow soon after A.J. Palumbo (A.J.P.) was added to the campus. The science/technology building gave me the chance to work with state-of-the-art apparatus with the advantage of the small, hometown college. The combination of advanced resources, smaller class size, and devoted professors has opened a world for me that I had only read about in books. I had hands-on experience with cadavers, spectrophotometers, hydroponics, DNA fingerprinting, and bacterial cultures, just to name a few, that allowed me to fully ground myself in biology to where I feel secure in extending my education to the graduate level.
