Overview

Chatham University offers tracks tailored to different fields of interest. The cell and molecular Biology concentration is appropriate for a career in research or medicine. The human biology concentration includes all of the prerequisite courses for our Master of Physician Assistant Studies program, and is well suited to careers in a variety of health professions.

Students interested in the role of Biology and ecosystems are encouraged to consider a major in environmental science at Chatham.

Funding Opportunities

In addition to giving students experience in laboratory research prior to their capstone research project, Chatham uses other sources of funding, such as the Hulme Award and the Theo Colburn and Lorin Maazel Awards, to provide money for biology students to travel to professional conferences and to fund their summer travel and research.

Program Highlights

Students enjoy ready access to outdoor areas for fieldwork, including the 388-acre Eden Hall Campus—the world’s first academic community built for the study of sustainability, with its woodlands, streams, and research labs.
Students have the opportunity for hands-on work in our large human cadaver lab.
Students can also leverage Pittsburgh’s tight-knit academic and medical community through connections our faculty has around the region.
