Honors Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

A student interested in the Honors Program should contact the program faculty member with whom the student would like to do research and then apply in writing to the program director for admission. A “B” average is required. In addition to the program requirements, Honors candidates must:

• Carry out a research project under the supervision of a faculty member in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Program.
• Submit an honors thesis or publication based on the research project.
• Present the research results in a public seminar.

Students are encouraged to begin their research in the summer following the junior year, if not earlier.
