Departmental Honors Program

To qualify, a student must have, by the end of the junior year, a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better and an average of 3.4 or better in courses credited toward one of the departmental majors. At that time, the student should apply formally to the department. Accepted students are expected to complete at least 6 credits in an independent research project, resulting in a thesis, and to pass an oral examination before a faculty committee in the general field of the student`s program of emphasis. If the research is done in a laboratory outside of Rutgers-New Brunswick/ Piscataway, the examination committee must include at least one individual from the Rutgers-New Brunswick/ Piscataway faculty.

Honors students must register either for an honors course sequence in genetics or for a course sequence in a college honors program. These decisions should be discussed with an adviser. An approval form is available in the departmental office and on the departmental web site.
