In the Molecular Biosciences BAS program, students spend their final year working on their capstone project from proposal to completion in MBS 480, MBS 481, and MBS 482.

MBS 480: Senior Capstone Proposal – 1 credits

MBS 481: Senior Capstone Project I – 4 credits

MBS 482: Senior Capstone Project II – 5 credits

C.elegans

MBS students use the model organism C.elegans for conducting research in the labs. For some basic information about this organism, check out the following video posted by Sci-Inspi to YouTube on May 13, 2019.
