Science and Technology
Science and Technology at Bryant
At the undergraduate level, we offer courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and biotechnology to students pursing a major or minor in biology or environmental science, a minor in biotechnology, or a concentration in forensic science.
At the graduate level, we offer a certificate in sustainability practices.
Students and faculty work side by side on original research. Recently students and faculty have explored the effect of climate change on marine life in Narragansett Bay under a National Science Foundation grant. Working with faculty from MIT and Yale as well as from Bryant, they have analyzed soil and fossil samples from China and the Canadian Arctic.
Laboratories
An 8,300-square-foot complex supports our department's work. It includes three wet labs and six individualized research labs. Equipment includes a variety of mass spectrometers, a high-performance liquid chromatograph, a solvent extractor system, and high-powered research microscopes.
Leng, Yang win National Science Foundation award to investigate climate change
The three-year, $471,370 grant will also support the training of two graduate students and three undergraduate students at Bryant.
