MARN 4500 - Marine Biology Research Proposal

Prerequisites: marine biology major, senior standing. In this course, students will develop a detailed research proposal for a hypothetical project in a topic of marine biology. Students will learn how to search, summarize, and review the literature in depth; apply both the scientific method and the skills they have developed prior to this course; and develop a well-crafted research grant proposal. Note: students wishing to actually conduct a faculty-mentored research thesis should instead register for MARN 4501. 3 credits.
