Renovation of Science Center Begins With Groundbreaking
With Knox's emphasis on critical thinking, clear and concise scientific writing, and excellent presentation skills—in addition to opportunities for extensive lab experience—Knox science graduates have an advantage when it comes to graduate school. As a result, Knox is ranked by the National Science Foundation in the top 10 percent for graduates who have earned doctorates in mathematics, computer science, and the natural and physical sciences.
Recent science majors who are pursuing graduate degrees at some of the nation's leading universities include computer science major Dakota Stipp '17, who is at Yale studying sound design; chemistry major Alejandro Beltran '17, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Maryland; neuroscience major Coltan Parker '16, who is pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois; and biology major Caitlin Hemby '16, who is also at the University of Illinois, in veterinary school.
