The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB) 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 one of the Introduction to Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Research courses (01:694:214, 01:694:215, 01:694:315, or 01:694:316) and 01:694:383, 484 Seminars in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Course 01:694:215 is only for first-year honors students who have placed out of General Biology (01:119:115,116, and 117) by receiving a score of 4 or 5 on the AP biology exam. Course 01:694:214 is for first-year students who have placed out of General Biology (01:119:115,116, and 117) by receiving a score of 4 or 5 on the AP biology exam. Course 01:694:315 is for either qualified sophomores or junior students in the major. Course 01:694:316 is for either qualified sophomores or junior honors students in the major.
