About the Program
Genetics is the science of information transfer from one generation to another. We learn the laws of inheritance in all creatures big and small, how they evolve and how they change. On the molecular level we learn about DNA and RNA, on the cellular level we discover what makes a cell cancerous, and on an organismal level we examine the reproductive habits of various organisms. Crucial principles include the structure, function, and transmission of genes. Laboratory techniques explore genetic engineering from the “inside.” Genetics is crucial to all of biology, hence a genetics major has great flexibility. This is excellent preparation for advanced study in biological sciences, law, genetic counseling, and many health-related professions.

Note
120 semester credits required for Bachelor of Science degree. 2.0 Graduation GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree. Degree Requirements
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Foreign Language Courses
Foreign Language proficiency requirements vary by program. For acceptable languages and proficiency levels, see your advisor: American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, (ancient) Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical. A Critical Course is one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Expired Course
Any course without a link to its description is one that has been expired. However, this course could fulfill the degree requirement historically. |
