This page is not intended for students entering in 2015 or later. Required for all PhD students in the Department of Genetics These guidelines assume students have entered via the Integrated Life Sciences program, thus have had Responsible Science, research rotations, and other introductory material. All students must carry at least 12 credit hours a semester (9 in summer). All students must enroll in GENE 8880 (Student Seminar; 1 credit hour) every semester in residence unless written authorization from graduate coordinator, or the semester in which a student gives exit seminar. Prior to or simultaneous with serving as a Teaching Assistant, student must enroll in GRSC 7770 (1 credit hour). GENE 9000 (Doctoral Research) may be taken for up to 10 hours a semester. Doctoral students must enroll in GENE 9300 the semester they graduate. Student must take at least 20 hours of 8000-level courses, total of 30 credit hours that includes GENE 9000 and 9300 Required for all Genetics students and/or Training Grant-supported students In addition to the above general requirements, the core curriculum for the Genetics department, and a requirement of being supported on the NIH T-32 Training Grant in Genetics, requires training in 4 areas pertinent to modern genetics research. No single course can be used to count for multiple training components. Every student is required to take at least 3 credit hours in each of these core components. Component 1: Molecular/Developmental Genetics Component 2: Evolutionary Genetics Component 3: Genomics Component 4: Quantitative Training back to curriculum
