What Alvernia University says about their program:
Alvernia's Biology Program and its enthusiastic faculty are dedicated to providing students with a framework to excel in any biological field. Students work closely with faculty to develop critical thinking skills and analytical techniques to be successful in their future careers as scientists. The biology program takes a multidisciplinary approach to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of fundamental scientific principles in mathematics, chemistry and physics. The laboratory spaces expose students to equipment and instrumentation for examining cells and tissues, isolating and manipulating DNA and protein, growing and analyzing microbes, and analyzing metabolites in plants and other organisms.
Students within the program can experience real-world research by completing an internship at a company directly in line with their career goals or by completing an independent research project with a faculty mentor. The program also offers coursework that can give qualifying students an opportunity to enter the Reading Hospital Medical Laboratory Science program after completion of their third year at Alvernia. Students accepted into this program acquire their Bachelor of Science in Biology from Alvernia after successful completion of a year of clinical study.
