  Optional Concentration - BA Chemistry Research

  The Research concentration within the BA Chemistry major is designed for students who are interested in pursuing further research in graduate school or careers in industry, medicine, and science education. A research concentration will offer students an opportunity to read and explore scientific literature, develop hypotheses, design and implement experiments, collect and analyze data and communicate their findings. The Research concentration involves both course-based research experiences and mentored laboratory research experiences. Students will gain experience problem solving by using the scientific method.

  The concentration is a minimum of nine credits and must include six credit hours from courses 3000+ level or higher.

  Inquiry-based laboratory or course-based undergraduate research experience (at least 2 credits)

  • BIO 1040 – Fundamentals of Bioinformatics (3 credits)
  • BIO 2710 – Genetics Laboratory (2 credits) 
  • BIO 3201 – Applied Metagenomics (3 credits) 
  • BIO 3510 – Histology Laboratory (2 credits) 
  • BIO 3950 – Advanced Microbial Phage Genomics: SEA GENES (4 credits) 
  • BIO 4490 – Ecology Laboratory (2 credits) 
  • BIO 4640 – Physiology Laboratory (2 credits) 
  • BIO 4750 – Cell and Molecular Biology Laboratory (2 credits) 
  • CHM 1150 – Research in Chemistry Lab (1 credit) 
  • CHM 1980 – Introduction to Research Methods in Chemistry and Biochemistry (1 credit)
