<p>Uchicago, like MIT, also has a single bio major (with different specializations). We don’t really have that much association with Argonne. </p>
<p>Core Bio is what non bio majors take. AP5 Bio is open only to students who have a 5 on the AP Biology exam, hence the name. From what I’m told it’s a very difficult but very rewarding class, and the primary focus is learning how to read scientific journal articles and think like an actual researcher. </p>
<p>You might be interested in the Program in Physical and Chemical Biology (PCBio) program, which provides funding for students to do independent research ($4500 for summer, $1250x3 quarters for the school year).
