What is an honors concentration?
The Program in Biology administers an Honors Program to train students to conduct independent research in Biology; Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB); Microbiology; Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB); Neuroscience; and Plant Biology. In addition to completing all the requirements for the concentration, an honors degree requires a concentration GPA of at least 3.3 (3.4 for Neuroscience), and the completion of a significant piece of independent research that is reported in an honors thesis and presented in a public forum.
