Mission Statement

The BioScholars program is designed to give students majoring in the Biological Sciences the opportunity to pursue their interests as part of a smaller community of scholars. The program connects students to the resources of a large university but also provides an close knit collegiate atmosphere where students work closely with peers and professors in small group settings, research laboratories, special programs and activities. BioScholars also offers the chance to create and implement programs that uphold our ideals of Excellence, Integrity, and Service. Leadership opportunities are available and encouraged for interested undergraduates.
