Why Biology at Calvin: Honors Program
The Biology Department Honors Program requires student to complete three courses in biology with honors, submit an honors thesis, and earn a minimum 3.5 GPA in the major to satisfy the college’s honors program. From the Biology major’s required courses, one will normally be the honors section of 141 or 242, second honors course will be from courses numbered 300-349, and the third course requirement is the honors completion of an independent research project (Biology 399) or an investigations course (Biology 352-357). Normally the investigative research conducted in one of these courses will be reported in the form of a scientific research paper, which will constitute the honors thesis.
