FS 380 Faculty Sponsored Research

(2 credits)
This course is a laboratory research experience that can be taken repeatedly for elective credit with approval of the sponsoring professor and the program director for Forensic Science. Students will read and synthesize literature relevant to their research project and develop a research proposal under the guidance of their faculty research adviser. They will then carry out this research project, analyze the data, and write a final research report. Because of the highly specialized nature of this course, students must obtain written approval by the faculty research adviser in order to register for the course and students must register for the course at least 1 month prior to the first day of classes.

Prerequisite: Students must be Biology majors and have completed BI 101  and BI 102  and be in the pre-Forensic Science program (3+2 or 4+2). In addition, students should have at the minimum sophomore standing. In special cases, these prerequisites may be waived by permission of the instructor.
