Research: Hands-On Science

The Biology program is built on a foundation of hands-on student involvement, and opportunities for independent laboratory and field studies abound. One of the hallmarks of a Purchase College education is the Senior Project. Biology students carry out original research under the direction of a faculty member. Results from many Senior Projects have been published in scientific journals and our seniors present the results of their research at our annual Student Science Symposium in April.
