VIP and CURE

Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) and Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) engage students in multidisciplinary teams to work on faculty-led research projects. Students earn academic credit and can participate for multiple semesters.

EEB, Biology, and Bioinformatics majors who participate in a VIP lab for academic credit must complete this form in order for these credits to count towards major elective requirements. Submit the form to your Academic Advisor by the 10th day of the start of the semester. Your Advisor will forward the form to the EEB Program Coordinator who will approve the petition and enroll you in ECOL 497A for credit.
