A Tech Forward Education
The biology undergraduate program was a great educational experience that nurtured collaboration and innovation. I especially appreciate how the program emphasizes research experience, which was available to me as early as my freshman year, and how the curriculum prepares us with relevant skills. The CCB department is extremely welcoming and have always been there to support student success!

Stevens was in the perfect location for me to be able to shadow a local pediatric dentist. I also ventured into the city for a summer internship at New York Presbyterian's Weill Cornell Medical Center in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Dentistry division. The small class sizes of the department made me feel like I really connected with faculty. They gave me a great support system.
