This endeavor enables students to apply their knowledge of biology in a theoretical manner to a specific area of biology. This is a full academic year course and a grade is not submitted until the end of the two semesters of work. It culminates in a written scientific paper at the end of the first semester and a formal oral presentation at the end of the second semester. Either this course of Biology 490 is required of all Biology and Health Science majors.
