Accepted Students Week: School of Science

This program is designed for majors such as Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Data Science, Environmental Science, Health Studies and Health Science, Math, Nursing, and Physics or Engineering.

During Accepted Students Week: School of Science, we flip the script on a typical campus visit. Instead of a one-size-fits-all tour, you’ll experience a day intentionally shaped around your academic interests, your questions and your future.

You’ll step into labs connected to your major—whether that’s nursing, biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science or beyond—and take part in hands-on experiences alongside faculty and current students. Every session is designed to help you see how Siena’s School of Science transforms curiosity into real-world impact, so you can picture yourself here not just as a student, but as a scientist in the making.

Why Science at Siena?

(Because seeing it in action changes everything.)

See yourself doing the work

From nursing simulation spaces to biology, chemistry, environmental science and computer science labs, you’ll experience the environments where Siena students learn by doing. This visit helps you picture yourself running experiments, analyzing data, solving real problems and building confidence from day one.

Real science. Real mentors.

At Siena, science classes are taught by faculty, not teaching assistants. During your visit, you’ll engage directly with professors and current students, ask real questions, and see how mentorship, research and hands-on learning are woven into every major—starting as early as your first year.

A path with purpose

Siena’s School of Science connects coursework to careers through clinical placements, undergraduate research, internships, service-learning and field experiences tailored to your major. Paired with Siena’s guaranteed scholarships and four-year graduation promise, this is a science education designed to move you forward—with clarity and confidence.

“It was so impactful to not only be paid to do research at Siena, but to be able to work so closely with faculty in the labs. It was a really amazing experience.”

– Conner Kim ’26, Biology Major

“I loved how much the professors in the chem/biochem department cared about us as both students and people. I always felt comfortable asking for help and going to office hours, which enhanced my experience and understanding.”

– Natalie Stagnitti ’23, High School Chemistry Teacher

“Dr. Kolozsvary was so enthusiastic about my research. I transferred to Siena because I really wanted more hands-on experiences. Siena gives you so many opportunities; I could not imagine a better experience and mentor.”

– Isabelle Rowley ’26, Environmental Science Major
