Information about the capstone course, BIOL 2500, CHEM 2500, and PHYS 2500

The capstone course, Applications in Science and Math, typically runs once a year during the spring semester. Each spring, all second year SCID students will meet with a professor from the either the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics and Engineering Departments. Currently, the course is housed in the Biology Department and runs as BIOL 2500. All SCID students, regardless of their scientific interests, will sign up for BIOL 2500. For help with registering, contact the Biology Chair, Dr. Turenius-Bell ([email protected]).
