Elective Courses:
The only specific requirements in the program are those listed above.
However, each Ph.D. student must meet minimum requirements of the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences with regard to total credit
hours in course work. For each Ph.D. student an individualized program
of advanced courses will be organized in consultation with the student's
advisory committee and the Program Director. However, some courses
are particularly appropriate for students in the Genetics and Molecular
Biology Program. Following are some courses which might typically
form a portion of a student's advanced coursework.
