Biology Research Experience
All biology majors must include a research experience as part of their undergraduate program. All biology majors will be required to present the results of their research experience in on-campus symposia or at regional or national conferences.
This requirement may be satisfied by the successful completion of any one of the following:
- An independent research project OR a student/faculty collaborative research project for biology credit
- An off-campus internship with significant research component
- Seminar (BIOL 412)
- A research experience not covered by the above but deemed equivalent
Ready to submit a proposal? Proposals should be submitted to the student's faculty advisor, who will determine whether the completed experience satisfies the research experience requirement.
