Exploring the Genetic Basis of Cognition and Anxiety Through the Human Lynx Genes: The SNP Project

The Eckardt Scholars Program is a selective and unique honors program in the College of Arts and Sciences emphasizing interdisciplinary exploration as well as student choice and flexibility in designing an independent course of study. Students in the program are exempt from the Arts & Sciences distribution requirements and work with the director to create a course of study that best suits their academic interests and ambitions. The program includes a significant component of independent research in the form of a College Scholar Thesis requirement as a capstone event.
