Get Hands-On with Science
In the Beverly K. Fine School of the Sciences, we contend that to learn science, one must do science. Our students and faculty are engaged in hands-on, inquiry-based learning at all levels of study.
Our programs enhance student learning by making inquiry the foundation of a creative synergy between faculty and students. And, in an atmosphere that fosters intellectual curiosity, creative and self-motivated exploration, ethical global citizenship, and independent thinking, the focus remains on providing a student-centered learning environment.
Our faculty members are committed to offering personalized guidance throughout your academic journey and will work with you to create an engaging relationship and provide steady support. With those pillars in place, learning can thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Students and faculty from the Biology department took learning to new heights, with a unique hands-on learning experience right among the woodlands of our campus.
Stevenson University Biomedical Engineering students Andrew Davis’25 and Alex Reimert ’26 are engaged in a summer-long research project to develop a model fall simulator. The goal of their project is to use the data from the model to help older adults prevent falls.

Students and faculty from Stevenson University’s Biology and Environmental Science programs examine the region’s salamander population to gauge the health of the local environment.
Stevenson University’s Kahlert Foundation Makerspace is located in the Manning Academic Center and well-stocked with hand tools, power tools, and high-tech equipment—including 3D printers, a laser cutter, and CNC mill—the space is dedicated to creativity and experiential learning.
Professor Jeremy Burkett, Ph.D., had an idea for a new app that teaches chemistry in a fun way! Students were able to learn what it takes to create an app, something they wouldn’t normally be exposed to through their chemistry coursework, and apply classroom understanding by providing their input.
