Endless Experiential Learning Opportunities

At Gordon learning happens hands-on—in campus research labs, around our rich location on the North Shore of Boston and along the nearby Biomedical Corridor. You may follow the footsteps of Gordon students who have interned at places like NOAA, New England Biolabs, the Massachusetts Audubon Society, the Boston Museum of Science and Cell Signaling Technologies. You may also gain on-campus experience in the human anatomy and physiology lab (a rare experience for undergrads); the Center for Balance, Mobility and Wellness; or a computer science summer practicum.

Expert Guidance

From the very beginning of your Gordon experience, you’ll be known and supported by your personal advisor, professors and peers. Thanks to Gordon’s low student-to-faculty ratio, faculty are accessible and invested—meaning you might be personally mentored by a leading voice on climate change, a Fulbright Scholar or a National Science Foundation-funded physicist. Students have worked alongside faculty in collaborations with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston University and MIT. Our highly sought-after network of alumni have strong graduate school placement rates and careers at places like Raytheon, Microsoft, Elucida and more.

As a student, you will be engaged with faculty members, mentors, advisors and other students to help you find your passion and vocational direction in whatever field you embrace, whether it is protein analysis, medical innovation, wildlife ecology, biomechanics, green chemistry, operations research or data wrangling. You will find your place here among passionate and welcoming colleagues."

— Greg Keller Dean of the School of Science, Technology and Health, Professor of Biology

Hear from a Gordon grad

"I had no experience with coding before college; Gordon helped me start from the ground up to become someone who can do the job and do it at a good level. Some of the extracurricular courses at Gordon related to the computer science major challenged and taught me the most, like internet programming and mobile programming. These courses were project-based, with huge projects to do on your own, from beginning to end. That’s how I work now at a real job."

— Ari Dospassos Software Engineer, Microsoft

Alumni Entrepreneur of the Year: Don Gonzales ’95 on Solving Problems That Change Lives

For Dr. Donald Gonzales ’95, entrepreneurship began with a decision to start looking for problems worth solving. As a third-year otolaryngology resident at Tulane University Medical School, Gonzales challenged himself to develop and submit one new idea each week to the university’s technology transfer office. His third submission became the basis for his first company, ENTrigue Surgical, and launched a career at the intersection of medicine and entrepreneurship.
