BIOL 396 - Research in Biology

2-4 credits
An opportunity for upper-level students to design and execute an independent project in biology, including laboratory or field research, under the supervision of biology, neurosciences, or RISE faculty. A one hour weekly research seminar meeting is required, where students present work in progress and receive logistical guidance. Interested students should meet with a faculty member to plan the project and establish the amount of credit before registration. Students normally enroll for two credits, especially when beginning a new project. Students conducting honors research in biology should register for this course at the four-credit level rather than registering for HON 410  and HON 411 . Two semesters of BIOL+196 satisfy one laboratory course requirement toward the major. May be repeated for credit but at most eight credits of BIOL+195 and 16 may be counted toward requirements for the biology major. Signature of instructor required for registration. Prerequisite: BIOL 150 , BIOL 160 , and BIOL 250 , and a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the major. Signature of instructor required for registration. Offered every semester.
