Students participating in Biology Honors have the opportunity to enroll in dedicated Honors sections of core Biology classes. Because these Honors sections are substantially smaller than standard Biology classes Honors students engage in activities not normally available in larger classes, including discussion-based class meetings, independent reading and analysis, oral presentations, and inquiry-based laboratories. Additional opportunities are available to Honors students for leadership experiences in research, instruction, service, and mentoring. A central feature of the Biology Honors program is the expectation that all students will participate in at least one year of undergraduate research under the mentorship of a faculty member. Biology Honors graduates will have demonstrated their ability to meet high academic expectations, interact productively with faculty and peers, and work independently to master a deeper understanding of the natural world.
