Graduates from the School of Science, Engineering and Technology are uniquely prepared to meet the challenges of these rapidly-advancing fields. In an integrated learning environment, students draw from science, philosophy, sociology and theology to analyze their findings in the laboratory, and in the community.

The Bachelor of Science prepares students for a successful future in the sciences — whether that means graduate studies or immediate entry into the job market. The School’s passionate faculty teaches students to view problems as a combination of scientific inquiry and moral and ethical consideration.

Unique programs include a National Institutes of Health-funded program, designed to introduce minority students into careers in the sciences. This program, The Minority Access to Research Careers U*STAR Program, supports the education of the next generation of biomedical research scientists. This program extends beyond the biology major and includes undergraduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and engineering. While some of the students conduct research at off campus sites, other students are part of research teams and work hand-in-hand with St. Mary’s faculty.

St. Mary’s University has also entered into a number of articulation agreements with the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio to help qualified undergraduate students gain entry into allied health, dental, medical and pharmacy programs. St. Mary’s University is also a participating university in the Joint Admission Medical Program.

Graduates are in high demand by the country’s top graduate and professional schools, as well as regional and national research firms. Historically, more than 50 percent of St. Mary’s graduates who apply are accepted into American medical and dental schools, exceeding the national average of 35 percent.
