There are many opportunities for students who wish to incorporate research experience into their undergraduate curriculum at Kenyon. Junior and Senior students often enroll in our Honors Program in Biology or Chemistry and engage in a long-term collaborative research project with a faculty mentor. Our Summer Science Scholar Program funds students to work collaboratively with research mentors for up to 10 weeks during the summer months.
Some students choose to go off campus for research experiences at a number of other institutions.
Below is a partial list of research projects that Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors have undertaken in the past as an independent study, summer research or honors research.
