Rockhurst College offers biology laboratories for middle and high school students who are homeschooled. Last year over 100 students attended a 10-week laboratory series held on our campus. The labs, which met once a week for 2 1/2 hours, provided hands-on experiences for students who may not have access to this type of scientific investigation. Benefits of the program include:

1. enhancing the science education of homeschooled children
2. enhancing Rockhurst's visibility and reputation in the community
3. providing teaching experience for undergraduate students who work in the program
4. serving as a possible recruitment tool for our College.
