“The biology program at NSU prepared me for pharmacy school. I was able to hit the ground running and take on additional responsibilities. My fast start helped me graduate summa cum laude and make the most of my professional training. Looking back, the small class sizes were key in my professional development. They allowed me to engage with the material and my professors in a unique way.”

“I had no idea what I wanted to do walking into NSU, but with the guidance of the professors in this department, I found my true passion: chemistry. The excitement that exudes off the professors inside and outside of lectures and labs is unrivaled. Not only did I gain exceptional laboratory and research experience, but also lifelong mentors and role models. The guidance and passions of the professors of the Chemistry Department at NSU remain the reason why I have chosen to pursue a Ph.D.”
