We reimagined undergraduate life science education employing an evidence-based approach. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) are interwoven throughout our curricula, providing students with the opportunity to engage in authentic, discovery-based scientific research, and challenge them to apply foundational knowledge to address research questions. This CURE-based curriculum has been demonstrated to improve student learning and graduation rates compared to traditional teaching models in many studies of STEM learning and are a great preparation for all biology-related careers.
