The Spring Research Course of each FRI stream is designed to introduce students to research skills and techniques they will need to do novel research as quickly as possible. No prior knowledge of the research area is required to enter most research streams. See the individual Research Streams for more details about their research.

Most classes meet together for at least one scheduled hour per week and additional time that is needed for research, usually 6-8 hours per week, is scheduled around a student's other courses and commitments. 

FRI COURSE CREDIT & MEETING SCHEDULE: SPRING 2016

FRI students receive course credit for doing research with a stream. In some cases there are multiple course credit options. Students are allowed to choose which course "Credit Option” they register for. Regardless of the credit you choose, you will need to attend the group meeting time for the stream. You will also work on your research for several additional hours each week, which you will schedule with your Research Educator.

For example, if you join the Biobricks stream, you can choose biology credit (both BIO206L and NSC109), OR you can choose chemistry credit (both CH204 and NSC109).

If you are interested in the course credit offered by the second semester of the streams, see the Fall Research Courses. You must register for the courses below for spring semester during registration.
