Faculty members in the Biology department often teach courses during January Term. The following kinds of courses are often provided:

Seminars designed to probe special areas of interest in the biological sciences through readings, reports, and discussions;
Field courses, either on or off campus, that provide experience in the study of natural ecosystems, including international options;
Directed research on topics in experimental or field biology; and
Independent study courses, either on campus or by special arrangement at universities or research institutions.
Courses taken during January Term do not fulfill Biology majors credit.

Information on these courses of study can be found here.
