If you are a first- or second-year student who has signed up for the biology, microbiology, botany or zoology majors, you should already have an assigned CAS advisor who specializes in biology. If you are interested in declaring any of those majors, or any of the biology-related minors or co-majors, contact the CAS Advising Office and ask to meet with one of the biology specialists.
In addition to Miami University Honors College, we offer a Departmental Honors program for students who qualify for and desire independent work under the guidance of a faculty mentor(s). Note that Departmental honors is distinct from the Honors College.
Students can pursue internships at a wide variety of institutions and companies. These can take place during the academic year, the winter term or the summer.
