Gannon students conduct aquatic and environmental research using Gannon's own research vessel, the Environaut. Gannon's ideal location in Erie allows Science students to study and utilize Presque Isle State Park, the Cascade Wetland, Pymatuning State Park and Lake Erie while providing research and internship opportunities within walking distance of campus. Gannon University offers Master's programs in both Physical Therapy and Environmental Studies. Gannon Science students have the opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. This allows students to work closely with a faculty mentor, conduct research and earn scholarship money.
Students have the opportunity to be published before graduation.
On our urban campus, students can enjoy all the conveniences of city living while feeling at home in Gannon's caring community. Gannon's Career Service Center helps students search for graduate school or job opportunities, develop interviewing skills and design a professional resume. Over 70 clubs and organizations as well as 18 NCAA Division II athletics provide students the chance to be involved. In addition to special course work in education required for Pennsylvania Teacher Certification, students in this concentration also complete three one-credit teaching practicums.
