"The Biology program at Immaculata University opened many doors for me and gave me a great jump start on my career in the biopharmaceutical industry. Through Immaculata's connections, I was able to secure a paid summer internship during undergrad that helped me stand out on job applications, and I accepted my first job offer immediately after graduating. The biology faculty played a huge role in preparing me for this industry by challenging me in the classroom and helping me apply my knowledge in a lab setting."
