Prospective Undergraduate Students:

Undergraduate research experience is highly recommended for students interested in entering graduate school or pursuing careers the healthcare professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, etc.). Limited laboratory space is available for academically outstanding and highly motivated students. Projects normally require a 5-10 hour weekly commitment during the academic year and a full-time effort during the summer. Students with work-study support may be accepted if money is available. In most cases students will earn academic credit for their work. Academic credit is earned through:

BIOL 492: Undergraduate Research

BIOL 493: Undergraduate Seminar

BIOL 496: Special Topics in Biology
