BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE PROGRAM
WHY MARYVILLE
Maryville offers study abroad programs led by faculty experts. Students traveled to the Galapagos Islands to study its unique environment and engage in scientific research and environmental education opportunities.
St. Louis is a world-class hub for sciences research and development. With more than hundreds of industry-related businesses in the region, Maryville students gain internship and research opportunities with companies such as:
• Danforth Plant Science Center
• Missouri Botanical Garden
• GlaxoSmithKline
• Mallinckrodt
• Monsanto
• Pfizer
Not many biomedical science program students would expect to play a game from TV host Ellen DeGeneres during class. Come to think of it, there probably aren’t many professors who would encourage it, either. Thank goodness Stacy Donovan, PhD, isn’t your typical associate professor of biology.
The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics identifies no fewer than 12 different areas in which biologists make significant contributions, and the list keeps growing. Occupations such as environmental scientists, medical technicians, and medical research scientists are seeing a growth in demand faster than the average career.
