Across the full four years of their undergraduate experience, Penn State Schuylkill Co-Op students learn through integrating rigorous coursework with full-time work experiences and relevant career development training.
In February 2020, a group of Penn State Schuylkill's Microbiology 107 students took soil samples from the campus grounds. After securing their samples that day, they returned to the lab where they diluted their soil and smeared it on petri dishes to search for naturally occurring antibiotics.
