The fi nal course in the BPS/BGS program taken after completion of the senior seminars. A guided independent research project focused on a single topic, allowing the student to conduct a thorough, in-depth study in an area of interest. Thesis work provides an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the BPS/BGS program by developing the qualities of independent and critical thinking. The fi nal 20-25 page research project is a thorough, clearly articulated representation of the student's educational accomplishments. Tutorial mode of instruction. Also available through External Studies Program in printbased format and over the Internet through RU Online. Prereq: completion of two senior seminars; student must be within 21 semester hours of graduation. (3 Credits)

3.00 Credits
This course explores the role of science as a creative endeavor that affects all of society. The methods of scientifi c discovery are experienced through direct experimentation as students design and conduct indpendent investigations of biological phenomena. Interpretation of scientifi c information through critical thinking and an understanding of hypothesis testing is discussed, using important case studies from today's headlines. Students will learn how to fi nd scientifi c and medical information they need, and how to judge its validity. The inner workings of the scientifi c community, in historical, social and ethical contexts, will be examined. Honors course. Lecutre and Laboratory. Prereq: Eng 101, Math 100. (4 Credits)
