The M.S. in Biotechnology provides the benefits of an advanced degree with only one additional year of study. Early admission into the program will allow you to start earning graduate credits while still an undergraduate student with all of the financial advantages involved. Students in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Duquesne University enjoy success after graduation due to our focus on an undergraduate experience that is grounded in fundamental principles of the five disciplines of chemistry and centered on a hands-on, original research experience. Our students enjoy access to modern instrumentation and research activity comparable to a large university while receiving the faculty mentoring most often seen at smaller schools. Faculty teach students skills in the classroom, labs and outside activities to be lifelong learners and promoters of science. Recent graduates are employed at PPG and Covestro, enrolled in Ph.D. programs at Harvard, Northwestern, Cornell, CMU, Emory, University of Washington, U. Penn and UC San Diego, and medical programs at Temple, U. Pittsburgh, LECOM and UNECOM.
