Requirements for Honors:

Students eligible for honors in biochemistry must fulfill the College-wide criteria and satisfactorily complete a thesis, traditionally based on the results of original research, that receives the approval of the subcommittee for biochemistry and the appropriate College committee. It is customary, but not required, that students enroll in three honors research courses, typically during the senior year.
