Biology Major students can choose to pursue Honors in the Major. Honors in the Major offers an advanced program of study within the student’s major field and closely related disciplines. Honors in the Major is especially appropriate for students who want deeper training in major-specific content as well as the research, writing, and critical thinking skills useful to a wide range of graduate programs and career choices.
