Students are invited to participate in the biochemistry and molecular biology honors program by the program co-coordinators. A student graduating with an honors degree in biochemistry and molecular biology must complete two units of preapproved upper-level elective work in chemistry, biology or courses approved by the BCMB committee. The student also must fulfill the following research requirements:
- A research proposal to the student's research advisor
- 1.5-2 units of independent research
- A written thesis upon completion of their research that is approved by at least two BCMB program committee members or their designees (one of which must be a BCMB program committee member)
- An oral defense of the thesis
