Undergraduate research can be performed for course credit. A student may register for BIOS 493 (prerequisite: 20 hrs and a 3.0 g.p.a. in BIOS courses) or BIOS 494H (prerequisite: 30 hrs and a 3.2 g.p.a. in BIOS courses).
Both of these courses require permission from the professor directing the research project. Use the Departmental Directory to find professors offering undergraduate research.
In addition BIOS 495H is designed for seniors enrolled in 494H who choose to write an honors thesis based on an undergraduate research project. It requires 494H, 40 hours and a 3.2 g.p.a. in BIOS courses and permission of the supervising faculty member.
For more information, contact Dr. Soichi Tanda or see the Undergraduate Research Experience page.
