Thank you for your interest in the MARC program. After 45 years, and hundreds of undergraduates trained and launched into amazing scientific careers as doctoral level scientists, the MARC program has ended. We celebrate our students and their accomplishments and will continue to seek out ways to support the highly talented and dedicated future scientists.
MARC students were expected to complete a thesis and give an oral presentation of their completed work in the semester that they exited the program. All information regarding the thesis was presented in the MARC Honors Thesis Handbook. Thesis presentations were made on the final Friday of each semester, prior to the "Gathering to Honor Graduates." Thesis format was, essentially, identical to that of the Honors College thesis, with slight alterations to the Signature Page. The student's mentor and two more faculty readers had to approve the thesis!
Thesis Coursework
All participants were required to take two semesters of Departmental Honors Research (4993) credit courses. Students not in the Honors College could enroll in the individual Departmental BIO 4993 courses directly.
