This is a research-oriented course in which students will conduct an original research project, report orally on the work, and submit a final report in the form of an Undergraduate Thesis. The Thesis, which will normally be submitted in both print and electronic forms, will be made publicly available.
Prerequisite(s): Fourth-year standing (a minimum of 90.0 credit hours) AND A cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher AND One of Biochemistry 3100 or Biochemistry 3300
Note: Contact hours will vary. Students should be aware that this course involves regular contact with the Thesis Supervisor as well as considerable independent work. Faculty regulations require extensive preparatory work prior to registration, including the submission of a Thesis Proposal. Students interested in the Undergraduate Thesis option should therefore discuss the matter with potential supervisors at least several weeks prior to the registration deadline.
