Honors in Biochemistry is a high achievement demonstrating independence and skill at research as well as strong performance in class. Students may apply for honors to the biochemistry steering committee before the add/drop deadline in the fall semester of their senior year. The year of honors research cumulates in a final written thesis and an open presentation. Honors students work closely with their research advisor and also meet regularly with a panel of faculty to propose their thesis, evaluate progress, and defend their final product.
