Beginning with the class entering in Fall 2005, all students in Arts & Sciences
must complete at least one course in their major that is designated as fulfilling
the Research Requirement
in the Core Curriculum. Students should generally complete this requirement no later
than the end of Junior year. We urge students to complete the requirement as
soon as possible, because the designated course are intended to help you develop
skills that will pay dividends in other upper-division courses.
As of Fall 2006, the new Research Requirement and the old
Writing Requirements overlap. In other words, most courses designated as Writing
Enriched also count towards completion of the Research Requirement.
List of Research courses
in Biology:
Biology majors may use the following courses can be completed to fulfill
the Research Requirement of the Core Curriculum, beginning with the class
entering in Fall 2005. This list will evolve, so check here frequently;
see also the Master Schedule in NOVASIS for additional information on a
semester-by-semester basis.
Policies about these two interrelated requirements are still evolving, but effectively
each Biology major at present needs to take two courses that are simultaneously
designated as Research and Writing Enriched. The stipulation that each student should
have taken at least one of these courses before the end of Junior year is new beginning
in 2006-07.
