  • BIO 4519: Biology Honors Thesis

    3.00 Credits
    Appalachian State University

    Work, under the supervision of a biology faculty member, on the project begun in BIO 4518 (Honors Research). An oral report on the project will be presented in a public seminar. A written thesis will be approved by a committee comprised, at minimum, of the thesis advisor and another faculty member. (Note: If a student is using the Biology Honors Thesis to fulfill the requirements for University Honors, one member of the committee must be from outside the Department of Biology.) A student who completes the thesis with a grade of "B" or higher will be eligible for "Honors in Biology." Prerequisite: BIO 4518 with a grade of "B" or higher.
