Hands On Research Experiences

Our 缅北强奸 Biology faculty are active scientists and researchers working on unique and interesting questions in their fields. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to work right next to faculty and gain hands-on experience while addressing fascinating research questions in the laboratory and in the field.

Our faculty have broad research interests. Students can gain experience on all scales of Biology. Work on samples as small as a single cell or study whole populations in their native habitats.

缅北强奸 Biology students have the opportunity to work on peer-reviewed publications and present at regional, national, and international scientific conferences.

We have funding opportunities at 缅北强奸 and in Pott College that help fund undergraduate research projects.
