Nazareth has听ranked among the top 20 for science labs nationwide, by The Princeton Review.
Anatomy and physiology lab: Peckham's largest lab provides ideal hands-on learning and preparation for tomorrow鈥檚 teachers and health care professionals.听
General chemistry听lab:听All biology, chemistry, math, and physical therapy students take chemistry. This lab helps to prepare them for careers in health and human services, education, or industry. It's also a site for interdisciplinary studies such as Chemistry and Art.
Math research: Students and faculty have dedicated spaces to conduct independent and collaborative mathematics research.
General biology lab:听This lab for students pursuing careers in the life sciences or health care explores life鈥檚 diversity among microbes, plants, and animals.
Greenhouse:听Students and faculty use this state-of-the-art facility to study plant growth and development. The greenhouse and gardens also serve as inspiration for students in drawing, photography, and other creative courses across campus.
Plant Tissue Culture Lab:听This lab provides resources for students to learn micropropagation techniques, which are used commercially to clone plants. Micropropagation also provides opportunities to explore the effects of hormones on plant growth and for students to develop good clean room techniques.
Biology, chemistry, and biochemistry: Faculty and students have room to conduct sophisticated experiments that contribute to the knowledge that shapes our world. They can pursue promising grants in biofuels, for example, because they have enough space to grow the algae or work with other potential sources of alternative energy.
Math: Students have opportunity to further develop their ability to learn mathematics independently, to make connections between different branches of mathematics, and to work closely with faculty members.
Greenhouse: Faculty and students grow听plants for study and research and for community outreach.
Some rooms are designed especially to accommodate small groups working on projects, helping enable interdisciplinary learning.
Interdisciplinary lab:听Joint projects among math, chemistry, biology, and health and human services students occur here.
Professional development: Workshops for teachers in the greater Rochester area provide the latest in math and science teaching approaches and use of technologies in the classroom.
