Departmental Honors

To graduate with honors in biology, it is necessary to complete satisfactorily a program of at least 3 credits in independent study in biology (BIOL 478, 479). The biology faculty will confer departmental honors upon students who have

  • maintained a cumulative average of 3.0 or higher;
  • obtained satisfactory grades in their advanced biology courses (generally interpreted as a 3.0 average for all biology courses numbered 200 or above); and
  • written a thesis and given an oral presentation of their independent study project which, in the view of the biology faculty, merits the awarding of honors. Thesis presentations are scheduled near the end of each semester.
