Degree Offered (MS, PHD):
The interdepartmental genetics program offers graduate work leading to the
degrees of master of science and doctor of philosophy. The program is conducted
by faculty members from animal sciences, biochemistry and molecular biology,
microbiology, plant biology, and zoology.
Admission Requirements
Qualified applicants are admitted with the approval of the genetics faculty.
Undergraduate preparation should include mathematics through calculus, chemistry
through organic, physics, animal or plant biology courses and laboratories, and
genetics laboratory experience. Preparation in statistics and computer science
are desirable. Applicants must submit current scores (within five years) from
the general GRE test.
Degree Requirements
M.S. Degree Requirements
The program for the master of science degree is formulated by the student with
the approval of the guidance committee. Students are required to take a minimum
of 30 credits, including a core of at least three genetics courses, for a
minimum of 10 credits (seminars and thesis excluded). Candidates for the degree
will be required to complete a thesis and pass an oral examination covering
graduate courses and thesis.
Ph.D. Degree Requirements
The chairperson of the genetics program, with the concurrence of the student’s
thesis adviser, nominates the student’s guidance and doctoral committees, which
administer the qualifying and final examinations. Specific course requirements
are developed by the student and the guidance committee. Doctoral students are
expected to have a broad exposure to genetics courses, exceeding that required
of master’s students. Students must complete a dissertation on original research
in genetics. The guidance committee for each graduate student determines whether
a foreign language will be required.
Teaching Experience
All students are required to participate in at least one semester of directed
teaching experience and are required to attend genetics seminars and present one
seminar per year.
