Prerequisites: Junior status and instructor ? permission. Under the supervision of a faculty member in biology, allows the student to undertake a lab research project in some area of biological science. Establishes the topic and methodology by mutual consent of the student and faculty member. Requires all students enrolled to meet together with the involved faculty once a week to discuss the background, methods and results of their projects. Encourages students to present their results at Scholars Day. May be repeated; a total of six credits from either BIO 424 or BIO 499 may be applied toward the major in Biological Sciences. 1-4 Cr.
