Taking a biology course at Georgia Highlands College (GHC) is more than textbooks and labs. Through a partnership with The Margaret and Luke Pettit Preserve, GHC students are given the opportunity to perform experiential research and projects involving wildlife, plants and ecosystems.
Interim Dean for GHC’s School of STEM Jason Christian stated these courses are called “Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences” or CURE courses.
“In a CURE course, students are given some parameters to align with but then allowed to develop, implement and complete their own research on a topic they choose,” he said. “CURE courses give hands-on experience to STEM students early in their academic careers.”
