Wright State testing wastewater to detect COVID-19 on campus
Sampling wastewater can help the university to catch infections early and prevent an outbreak of COVID-19 in the Wright State community.
If you are about learning by experience as you explore the science of living things, Wright State’s Department of Biological Sciences is the place for you! Complete your undergraduate degree in one of our eight academic programs, then step up to the Master of Science program in biological sciences. Check out our website to find out more.
