Biology/Environmental Engineering
Carlow University students majoring in biology have the opportunity to pursue a five-year course of study leading to a B.S. in biology from Carlow University and a B.S. in Civil Engineering (including coursework in environmental engineering) from Carnegie Mellon University. Information on specific course requirements for this program is available directly from the Department of Biology.

Biology/Environmental Science and Management Program
In collaboration with Duquesne University’s Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Carlow students interested in applied ecology may complete a five-year Bachelor of Science/Master of Science degree.

Students complete the first three years of the Biology/Organismal and Ecological Biology track in residence at Carlow. During the third academic year, qualified students apply for admission to the Master of Science program. Those admitted complete their fourth and fifth years in residence at Duquesne University. At the conclusion of the fourth year, students will have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Carlow. Upon completion of the fifth year, students will have earned a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science and Management from Duquesne University.

Examples of courses taken in the master’s degree component include Environmental Microbiology, Environmental Toxicology, Air Quality, Business Ethics, Environmental Management, and Environmental Law. The students graduating in this collaborative program are broadly trained scientists. They have all of the same credentials of other biology students and can pursue those relevant careers.
