Biotechnology
Departmental Honors Program
Outstanding students in any of the departmental degree programs are urged to fulfill the requirements for an honors degree. Since independent research is an integral part of the Biotechnology program, students must enroll in at least two semesters of BIOT-X 499 Biotechnology Research Capstone or equivalent. The Undergraduate Advising Office should be consulted for other requirements, but in general, students completing coursework with a minimum grade point average of 3.300, a senior thesis, the X499 credits, and, in some cases, a comprehensive examination or seminar, will be awarded a degree with honors. Honors students are urged to enroll in special honors courses and seminars offered by many departments in the College of Arts and Sciences.
