One of the Rochester Advantages is the opportunity for undergraduates to gain hands-on experience doing modern biomedical research for college credit. This situation is a direct consequence of the fact that, in addition to being an outstanding undergraduate institution, the U of R is also a major research university with strong, active graduate programs. These two educational components are not separated from one another; rather they are integrated into a unified whole, as in a complex higher organism.
For example: Neuroscience students must complete writing requirements in NSC courses. The writing requirements in other tracks are currently the same as for the BA track.
