Student Testimonials
Brianna McArdle
"I've fortunately been offered positions at both my co-ops and I'm trying to decide between the two after graduation. But in the meantime, I'm applying to medical school. I'm very excited. I’d like to go into the surgical field, hopefully becoming a pediatric surgeon or a reconstructive surgeon."
For her capstone, Brianna studied cardiovascular function and how different surgical suturing techniques can affect patient outcomes.
Zack Benesh
"Applied Science is great for people who want to be exposed to multiple scientific fields, topics, and techniques. My personal interest is in physics and chemistry, but coming out of this major I feel like I would also be qualified to take on any entry level research position in the Boston biotech scene."
