Dr. Mary Janicke will be once again offering her Cell Bio Honors Enrichment course which will run concurrently with any section of BIO 201.
Dr. Janicke states that “I really think BIO 211 is a course that every bright, motivated student should take if he is interested in a career in science or a medically-related profession. “
Advantages of taking this course include:
- There are many concepts that students don’t learn in the first-year BIO 200-201 sequence that tend to be on the PCAT, MCAT, and DAT and that are introduced in BIO 211.
- With its smaller groups, permits a more nurturing environment for these students in which we can mentor and get to know them well enough to support their future endeavors (e.g., write meaningful letters of recommendation for them).
Dr. Janicke has provided the following flyer regarding this class: BIO 211 Flyer

This course cannot be used to satisfy your Honors Seminar Requirement, but can be counted toward your Honors Experiences (Departmental Honors).
