| Wesleyan has been a leader in the sciences since the
university was
founded. In the 1800s, a Wesleyan scientist was the first to quantify
the calorie. Soon after came advances in pharmaceutical science. More
recently our researchers have pioneered the discovery of new planets,
identified previously unseen animal species, made advances in
understanding brain function, led the way in stem cell research
initiatives, and much more. Wesleyan undergraduates learn directly
from these faculty in the classroom. They participate in research, co-author published scientific papers and present at national
conferences. And they have opportunities to push themselves in ways
usually found only in graduate or Ph.D. programs. Wesleyan’s legacy of
leadership in the sciences continues to grow and flourish. |
