Here's what instructors have to say...


"Stevenson University is known for its distinctive approach to undergraduate education that emphasizes career preparation in the context of a liberal arts education. The incorporation of ‘real world’ skills and technologies with opportunities to learn beyond the classroom, such as in research experiences, are hallmarks of Stevenson’s educational model."

Dr. Donald Taylor

"The addition of the LI-COR Biosciences GEMF LI-COR 4300 DNA Analysis System to our biology program has enabled us to incorporate cutting-edge technology into many levels of our instruction. Our students are gaining hands-on experience with technology that they are likely to encounter in their in the workforce. This enhances their skill sets and makes them better able to contribute to an on-going research project or to product development."

"In a practical sense, the DNA Analysis System expands our department’s ability to recruit and retain high-quality students and faculty. We now have a greater ability to conduct research at the forefront of a variety of scientific fields, and our faculty are increasingly engaged in incorporating innovative teaching strategies and activities into the curriculum. As a result, our current students and faculty are becoming involved in research activities, and more prospective students are showing interest in our programs."

- Dr. Meredith Durmowicz, Assistant Professor of Biology, Stevenson University
