Welcome to the 科学部 at 宾州州立银行. We guarantee an exciting academic journey for you toward your science related career goals. 在我们的校园, you will have the opportunity to complete four-year undergraduate science degrees 在生物学中, 生物化学 & 分子生物学, 运动机能学, 和科学, as well as a two-year Occupational Therapy Assistant associate degree. Each of these degrees will prepare you as a life-long learner of science no matter what you choose to pursue after graduation. 越来越多, students who arrive at our campus often decide to complete their science degrees while staying at our campus during the entire duration of their chosen degree program. You could also spend your first two-years at our campus for most baccalaureate science degrees offered by Penn State and complete the Junior-Senior sequence at the University Park (The Eberly College of Science, College of Health and Human Development) campus or at other institutions as appropriate.
Our science faculty play a key role in ensuring the divisional excellence. They are passionate about their own disciplines, and solely committed to help you learn, 无论是在教室里, 实验室, 本科研究, or in any other academic settings. Always adopting the best practices for teaching, they will actively engage you at every step of your academic journey in a learning centered environment. Their excellence as a teacher-scholar is indeed unparalleled.
I am also pleased to share with you the completion of the renovation of our science facilities in spring 2015. The state of the art Luerssen Science Building now enables us to enhance student learning in a number of ways. During the planning phase of the renovation, program enhancement was our top priority that ultimately led to the development of state-of-the-art teaching and research 实验室 exhibiting a marked difference from those in the past.
In addition to your classroom experience, you will have exciting opportunities to be engaged with our science faculty in pursuing 本科研究. The faculty at the 科学部 are actively engaged in carrying out research in myriads of topics encompassing the fields of Biology, 化学, 生物化学 and 分子生物学, 运动机能学, 数学, 和物理. Their teaching and research efforts have truly made our campus a thriving intellectual meeting place. The high quality of research is reflected in so many ways including national and international recognition, publications in refereed journals, presentations at professional conferences, success in securing external research funding including those from the National Science Foundation, 美国国立卫生研究院, 以及能源部. 经常, our faculty take students under their wings in the exciting journey of seeking new knowledge. This form of engaged scholarship leads to an invaluable high-impact learning experience for our students. In addition, internship opportunities are also available to our students.
I invite you to visit the web pages for our science degree programs to explore the opportunities offered by each program. Students graduating from our science programs are well positioned to secure employment in public and private sectors or continue further studies at the appropriate graduate and professional schools. Please consult each program page for details.
