COURSE BASED RESEARCH EXPERIENCES (CUREs)
Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) offer Biology undergraduates the opportunity to do research with a small group of students. Under the guidance of a Biology faculty member, the students will conduct research together on a defined project. Students will receive course 3- 4 hours course credit. All courses require instructor permission. If you are interested in registering, click the button at the bottom to complete the CURE interest form.
A winning strategy that definitely helps getting into a lab is to directly reach out or meet with the instructor to introduce yourself!
