General membership is open to any TCNJ student with an interest in the biological sciences. General members may participate in all activities of the society, but membership terminates upon graduating from TCNJ. General members have yet to be inducted as either Associate or Regular members within the organization.
Associate Membership
Associate membership is open to any TCNJ student with an interest in the biological sciences. New Associate members are inducted into the national chapter of the honor society each spring. Associate members may participate in all activities of the society, but membership terminates upon graduating from TCNJ. Associate members do not have to be biology majors or minors and they do not have a course requirement. To be eligible for induction as an associate member, candidates must have been in good standing (attend all meetings and participate in service) prior to induction.
Regular Membership
Regular membership is open to biology majors or minors who have successfully completed three biology courses and have a biology GPA of at least 3.0. (Two courses must be above the introductory level; only one is accepted from another institution with a grade of B or better.) New Regular members are inducted into the national chapter of the honor society each spring and remain members for life. To be eligible for induction as a regular member, candidates must have been in good standing (attend all meetings and provide 3 units of service per academic year) for four semesters prior to induction.
