Additional Notes on Course Work
Two required courses (ST/GN 721 and GN 703) as well as several other elective courses rely on the material covered in GN 411 (Principles of Genetics) or a comparable course from another university as a prerequisite.
Students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. in a field related to biology are strongly encouraged to enroll in Molecular Genetics (GN 701).
