Read more!

First year seminar, c2908, meets once a week during the fall semester on Wednesdays from 2:40-3:55pm for one credit. This course enables you to hear what is going on in biology and begin to get acquainted with the biology department during this lag year when you aren’t yet taking biology classes. Each week a different professor talks about the research they are doing in their lab. Most of the professors that lecture are interested in undergraduates doing research in their lab, making this course a great way to find a research position.
