These volumes are available for use at the Biology Undergraduate Affairs Office during regular working hours. The majority carry out these projects in the senior year. As such, projects serve as integrative capstone experiences that may reflect the culmination of their interests. Mostly, scope and depth. Independent research projects are the route to Honors in Biology.
Honors is based on a research project of the scope and depth to be recorded as a thesis.

In addition, Honors requires an oral presentation, and a minimum grade point average in concentration courses. It is an indexed collection housing over 900 programs and opportunities, national and international. Information and application forms for these programs may be accessed directly from this collection, available for use in Room 124, Arnold, during regular working hours.
