<p>The Sciences at Occidental
“If you’re a scientist or are thinking about medicine, the professors at Occidental will not only give you a rigorous education, they’ll give you the support you need. You really get something special there.”
(Cullen Taniguchi ’98, Rhodes Scholar, M.D./Ph.D. student, Harvard University)</p>

<p>We are in the top 10 percent of private undergraduate institutions whose alumni receive doctorates in the sciences. Our students consistently fare well in competitions for fellowships and scholarships and go on to attend some of the top graduate schools in science and medicine.</p>

<p>Over the past decade, our science students have won 12 NSF Graduate Fellowships, 21 Goldwater Scholarships, and eight Beckman Scholarships.
Over the past 20 years, we have sent 570 graduates to medical or dental school.
Our alumni now attend graduate programs at Caltech, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkeley, and Stanford.</p>
