New for Spring 2007: Honors Cell Biology! (BIO 201)

Posted by admin on October 11, 2006 in Academics

**THIS COURSE FULFILLS AN HONORS PROGRAM REQUIREMENT**

Cell Bio is the basis of every other course you will take in preparing for a career in the biomedical sciences. Master it now, and you’ll be ahead of the game in subsequent courses and in getting ready for your PCAT, MCAT, or DAT. Plus, let’s face it, this stuff is cool—it’s the secret to life and the basis of all the amazing breakthroughs that are fast occurring in understanding and treating disease

In addition to everything in regular Cell Bio, Honors Cell Bio offers:

  • More topics
  • More difficult concepts
  • More rigorous grading
  • More dedicated classmates
  • More required active input from you
  • More small-group interaction
  • More opportunity to pursue topics of interest to you
  • More prestige (H will be designated on your transcripts upon successful completion)

If these sound like pros rather than cons to you, then consider BIO201Hon, especially if

  • you did well in Evolutionary Biology and first-semester General Chem,
  • you’re comfortable with logs and exponents, and
  • you’re interested in various honors topics

You need not be in the University Honors Program to take BIO201Hon, but if you are, you can use it to fulfill one of that program’s requirements.
