Course Overview

The Science Research Fellows major in the College of Arts & Sciences aims to develop a research-rich curriculum that prepares students in multiple aspects of scientific inquiry and place them in research labs by the fall of their sophomore year, where the student will continue to conduct research until they finish their degree. Because of the heavy emphasis on research, Science Research Fellows are exempt from most core curriculum requirements. Recognizing the importance of a broad undergraduate education, Science Research Fellows are strongly encouraged to take a rich variety of liberal arts courses.
