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’s Biomedical Engineering program partnered with The Image Center of Maryland and its Volunteers for Medical Engineering (VME) program to build adaptive bicycles for local children with disabilities.

Coming soon! Stevenson’s new Biomedical Engineering Lab and Makerspace will be a great resource for student and faculty to do research and to collaborate on projects.

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.

The annual Spring Spectacular emphasizes the fun factor in experiential learning. Students apply their knowledge to real-world applications as well as fun and interesting demonstrations.

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.

Meet the Dean


“There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the Fine School of the Sciences. Our majors combine scientific and mathematical theory with real world experiences- internships and mentored research opportunities- to prepare our students for employment and for entry into graduate and professional schools. Our dedicated faculty are committed to working with each of our students to ensure their success.”

Dean Roskes, Ph.D.
