Research opportunities abound. Most undergraduate biology programs limit you to a semester-long senior research project, but here you can choose to study for a full year alongside a faculty expert.

Most Susquehanna faculty research papers have student co-authors, and nearly all our students have a chance to present their work at regional and national conferences-such as the Ecological Society of America, National Conference of Undergraduate Research or Pennsylvania Academy of Science.
