Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Computing Outcomes  

• Over the last five years 88% of our students who applied to medical schools (allopathic or osteopathic) were accepted.
   
• From our 2009-10 graduating class, 98.6% of Boyer School Graduates are employed, in professional or graduate school, or are pursuing additional degrees or certification.
   
• Boyer School Graduates have been offered graduate assistantships at institutions such as Brown, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, Ohio State , Notre Dame, Minnesota , Virginia Tech , Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute , Maryland , and William and Mary. Our students have also interned in medical and animal hospitals, Supercomputing Centers, the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, and pharmaceutical companies.
   
• Students in the Boyer School are required to complete an undergraduate research project, design project or capstone course depending on their major. These experiences provide the student with the opportunities to work closely with our faculty in well-resourced, modern laboratories, or in outdoor research venues such as the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve or on-campus wetlands.
   
• We are housed in the beautiful Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion which, in the Fall of 2012, will see the completion of a $40Million renovation. The building will be LEED certified Gold and was designed with input from our faculty. Throughout the design phase one consistent theme was that of: Building Natural Science Communities a theme that emerged from Project Kaleidoscope, one of the leading advocates in the United States for what works in building and sustaining strong undergraduate programs in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
