Options

The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry offers two laboratory research options (laboratory option one and laboratory option two), as well as a nonlaboratory research option (nonlaboratory option). In all cases, students must take 01:694:315 Introduction to Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Research and 01:694: 483,484 Seminar in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Course 01:694:315 is generally meant for junior students in the major, but sufficiently qualified sophomores may take the course, depending on available space, with the permission of the instructor.

Laboratory Option One (15 credits)

  01:694:381,382  Undergraduate Laboratory Research (3-6,3-6)

  01:694:481,482  Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory Research (3-6,3-6) or some form of "honors" laboratory research (6,6)

A minimum of 12 credits is required in research courses. Students are encouraged strongly to register for more than the minimum whenever possible. Students must take at least one approved elective to satisfy the requirements of this option.

Laboratory Option Two (12 credits)

  01:694:381,382  Undergraduate Laboratory Research (3-6,3-6) or 01:694:481,482 Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory Research (3-6,3-6) or some form of "honors" laboratory research (6,6)

A minimum of 6 credits is required in research courses. Students are encouraged strongly to register for more than the minimum whenever possible. Students must take at least two approved electives to satisfy the requirements of this option. Note that students applying for honors must complete 6 credits of honors course work per term for two terms.

Nonlaboratory Option (12 credits)

  01:694:489,490  Literature Research in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (3,3)

Students must take at least two approved electives to satisfy the requirements of this option. Students taking this option may not apply for departmental honors.

Electives

Students are required to take one or more electives approved by their departmental faculty advisers. Because the list of approved electives is changing, students should discuss their elective options directly with their departmental faculty advisers. A list of currently approved electives can be found at the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry web site.

In addition to the undergraduate courses listed, advanced students are encouraged to choose electives from the Graduate School-New Brunswick.
