GRADUATE PROGRAMS
The principles of genetics are integral to many fields of biological sciences.
For this reason, an interdisciplinary concentration in genetics is available
for students enrolled in master's or doctoral degree programs in the
participating departments listed above. All students must become proficient in
several areas of genetics, including molecular genetics, developmental
genetics, and evolutionary and population genetics. The specific courses and
program emphasis vary by department because of the broad nature of genetics
research.
ADMISSION
The Genetics Program does not independently admit students or confer graduate
degrees. Prospective students should address inquiries to the program office or
to any of the above participating departments. Students are admitted to the
program after their acceptance by one of the participating departments and
review by the Genetics Program Executive Committee of the Graduate College.
Students admitted to the program should have completed course work in calculus,
computer sciences, basic genetics, and biochemistry. All degree applicants must
complete the requirements of the department in which they are enrolled in
addition to those of the Genetics Program.
