The Department of Life Sciences Honors Program gives qualified students an opportunity to do independant study and research with distinction in their major fields. The oral examination committee includes the thesis advisor, members of the major department, at least one faculty member who is not a member of the major department, and an examiner from another college or university who specializes in the field of study. Honors study usually is carried on throughout the junior and senior years under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
Students normally enter the program at the start of the junior year.
Students who wish to be nominated to the Honors Program should contact their faculty advisor for information regarding qualifications for acceptance into the program and nominating materials.
