Research Seminar in Biology

Catalog description

The research seminar provides students with an overview of the diverse multidisciplinary research areas that have captured the interest and fascination of NYU Abu Dhabi biologists and others in related fields. Through exposure to faculty research, students identify areas of interest for their own capstone research, and develop and write an in-depth research proposal over the course of the semester. The final capstone proposal is due at the end of the seminar so that students can begin the Capstone Project in Biology 1. All majors in Biology are required to complete the Research Seminar in Biology during the fall semester of their junior year. Students who have chosen Biology as their secondary major do not need to complete the research seminar course; students must instead take two courses in their chosen elective which are not research courses.
