Students describe their time at Duquesne University as 鈥渂eyond satisfying.... I was able to discover new subjects that I love learning about and tailor my academic experience to those interests.鈥� In particular, students laud the nursing, education, business, and biomedical engineering fields. On the medical side, the 鈥渋nformative鈥� and 鈥渉ands-on鈥� clinicals and lab simulation opportunities are seen as some of the campus鈥� best and most 鈥渙ne-of-a-kind鈥� academic features. Across the board, students highlight frequently updated technology and a variety of classroom types as benefits, such as the experience-based style: 鈥淲e have to do whatever we are learning, and it vastly improves my learning.鈥� Enrollees also cite 鈥渁 good number of guest speakers and experts,鈥� all of which 鈥渂reaks up the heavy lectures.鈥� Professors are passionate about what they teach and 鈥渨ant to see their students succeed in everything that they do later in life.鈥� They鈥檙e described as being 鈥渁lways willing to meet,鈥� and are good for 鈥減ossible research experience or anything that the student may need.鈥� Along those lines, they also practice a range of teaching methods, which some undergrads suggest offers 鈥渘ew ways [of ] engaging us, involving us..., and treating us like adults.鈥� Another benefit comes in the small, focused class sizes 鈥渋n which students can discuss specific topics in depth鈥� and also have 鈥渂etter relationships with professors and classmates.鈥� For those looking to get out of the classroom, Duquesne鈥檚 outdoor classes and study-abroad opportunities are much appreciated.
