Agricultural and Biological Sciences Research Opportunities

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ has an excellent tradition of undergraduate research in Agricultural and Biological Sciences. All Agricultural and Biological Sciences faculty members in the Agricultural and Biological Sciences Department are active scholars who value the partnership of students in research.

You can learn many lessons by doing research in biology—about the science itself, and also about close collaboration with others, time management, and taking personal responsibility, to name just a few. And, of course, you will discover how well you like the research process—the joys and sorrows of the act of testing and deepening our understanding of the living world.

The research process is central to a number of careers in biology. If you are contemplating such a career, it is wise to explore the research experience in detail.
