One 400-level capstone course:
Research Experience:
Students must take at least one course which incorporates a research experience (BIO 405 , BIO 416 , BIO 430 , BIO 440 or BCM 465 ) or an independent research experience, such as summer research on- or off-campus. Subsequently, the student presents the results of the research-type experience to biology faculty and peers at a seminar. The required seminar, BIO 475 , is taken over three terms (not necessarily consecutive). At the beginning of the sequence, the student is an observer and questioner. During the term in which the student enrolls to make his/her seminar presentation, a total of one credit hour is awarded for the entire sequence.
Requirements for the B.S. degree in addition to the major:
