<p>how good are the biological sciencees and research opportunities at UCI?</p>
<p>I went to the Explore UCI last week and was told that UCI has excellent research opportunities. According to the students there, you actually get to do research, not just washing the test tubes...</p>
<p>UCI has several research program such as SURP (summer research program), UROP (campuswide program), and excellence in research (program within bio department).</p>
<p>Once you completed the program, you'll get a chance to get published in the annual UCI undergrad research journal (<a href="http://www.urop.uci.edu/journal.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.urop.uci.edu/journal.html</a>)</p>
<p>yea, you can also take Bio 199 which is research. you have to find a professor who is willing to take you in and you earn credits. and if you do excellence in research it takes place of some of you upper div writing requirements.</p>
