Under the guidance of an MCB faculty sponsor, undergraduates in the MCB major may have the opportunity to work in a laboratory to gain valuable experience in scientific research.  Interested students must take the initiative to make such arrangements.  To get started, talk with classmates, peer advisors, a staff undergraduate advisor, graduate student instructors (GSIs), and faculty about your interest in learning more about laboratory research.   For more information on research, read "How to Find a Lab Position."
Students may receive academic credit for their work by enrolling in an independent study course: MCB 99/199 or MCB H196.  Enrollment applications are due in the UAO by the fifth week of each semester.
