PNW provided me with a strong science foundation. I was able to build a relationship with many of the faculty and staff. They taught me leadership and allowed me to grow as an individual.

Alejandra Rodriguez

“Faculty and staff make themselves available at the student’s convenience for any assistance the student may need, whether it be something as trivial as homework help or a topic of significance in that student's life, such as course registration and career counseling. With the help of such admirable faculty, I graduated with B.S. degrees in both Biotechnology and Chemistry in four years.”
