Biology Undergraduate Education Program
The aim of the IU Biology Undergraduate Education Program is to transform the way in which science is taught from one of simple information transfer to one of active inquiry. Initiated by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, this program will prepare students to address biological problems in new ways. The Integrated Freshman Learning Experience and Capstone, now funded by Indiana University continues to provide research experience for undergraduates.
