得到的经验
Students often ask our faculty how they can become active in undergraduate research. 的 Department of 生物科学 is hosting its first 本科研究 Forum that is targeted specifically for students in the core biology courses (Ecology, 进化, 细胞生物学, and Genetics) to learn about the value of these experiences and how to find a position in undergraduate research.
研究学分
Biology majors are strongly encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to gain research experience at the undergraduate level. Biology department faculty include world-class researchers who are involved in cutting-edge research initiatives that are interesting, thought-provoking and provide solutions to real-world problems; many of our faculty are seeking to mentor outstanding undergraduate students who are interested in gaining research experience. Participation in research provides the opportunity to learn the skills that are sought after by both employers and graduate programs and can give you an important competitive advantage for your future career.
As a Biology major you have the opportunity to earn academic credit for undergraduate research completed under the direction of a faculty mentor. Get to know your faculty members and ask about the research projects they are currently working on to see if they are looking for undergraduate research assistants. This is the best way to find a faculty member willing to mentor your research project.

本科研究 Program
的 本科研究 Program, which is supported by the Office of Academic Affairs and the 荣誉学院, 旨在促进, support and fund the involvement of undergraduate students in the active research community. 的 本科研究 Program's website provides students with a list of research opportunities by major. Many of the research opportunities posted are geared toward Biology majors.
的 本科研究 Program also sponsors the university-wide 研究资助计划 which provides qualified students research grants that allow them to pursue original research, 奖学金, or creative work under the mentorship of a full-time faculty member. This program is open to all juniors and seniors with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 and provides a $1500 stipend for one semester.
RUMS: 研究 for 本科s in Math & 科学
rms是一个为期2年的强化课程. research experience for undergraduates at the interface between math and biology. Students accepted into the program will become part of an ODU research laboratory and learn laboratory skills, 设计实验, 写资助, and present and publish their own work. This program provides a valuable opportunity to get real-world experience in a research laboratory, work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary math/biology project involving diseases of wildlife, 还能挣点零花钱. 访问 their website 了解更多信息 or to apply.
