​Two-For-One Learning Ex​​perien​ce​​​​
​

​The Integrated Biology and Chemistry (iBC) course series provides students with the unique opportunity to study the two sciences simultaneously​ in both introductory courses and labs over two semesters.

“Part of this is about making the connections between biology and chemistry early on — to help students not only make those connections, but hold on to those connections,” said, Jacqueline Fajardo, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “That’s the reason we see the benefit of this collaborative project.”
