GUIDED RESEARCH & SEMINAR

The introductory biology sequence is a pre-requisite for this yearlong course (BIOL BC1500, BIOL BC1501, BIOL BC1502, and BIOL BC1503).

An independent research project in Biology under the guidance of a faculty member and suiting the needs of the individual student. A Barnard research mentor (if your lab is at Barnard) or internal adviser in the Biology Department (if your lab is elsewhere) must approve your planned research before you enroll in this year-long course. A  Project Approval Form must be submitted to the department in the fall. 

Attendance at a weekly seminar is required. By the end of the year, students enrolled in BIOL BC3591-BIOL BC3592 will write a scientific paper and give a poster presentation of their work at the Barnard Biology Research Symposium.  Completion of this year-long course fulfills two upper-level laboratory requirements for the major. Must be taken in sequence, beginning in the fall.
