of Biological Sciences
Departmental Honors Program
In
order to be eligible for honors in the Department of Biological
Sciences, a student must have a 3.5 or greater GPA in Biology
courses. The student must take at least two credits of research
in the BIOL 480 series and write and submit a paper to the department
on the research project. In both cases a grade of B+ or better
is expected for Honors. (The Biology curriculum is currently being
revised so that certain 300 and 400 level courses will be research
courses enabling the student to be eligible for honors if their
grades are above 3.5.)
Students
who wish to undertake a research project under the supervision
of a faculty member must first obtain written permission from
that faculty member and then register for BIOL 480 – 483.
Research opportunities for outstanding undergraduates are available
in cell and molecular, developmental biology, neuroscience, cancer
biology, AIDS, microbiology and a variety of other contemporary
areas. In some cases students may be permitted to work at one
of the several neighboring research institutions. Synopses of
faculty research interests can be obtained from the departmental
web site.
