Major Requirements

A baccalaureate degree program must require at least 21 semester hours of upper division courses in the major field and at least 39 semester hours of upper division work overall.
Students in the Franklin College must earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better in major required courses.

Required Courses (33-38 hours) Foundations BCMB 3100 or BCMB 4010/6010 CBIO 3400 GENE 3000-3000D or GENE 3000H GENE 3200-3200D or GENE 3200H Statistics Choose one of the following STAT sequences:   STAT 3110 and STAT 3120 (STAT 4110H or STAT 4210) and STAT 4230/6230  STAT 4510/6510 and STAT 4520/6520  Laboratory Choose one of the following options: Option 1 Complete the three courses in the supervised research sequence (GENE 4960R, GENE 4970R, and GENE 4980R). All courses in the supervised research sequence must be taken under the supervision of the same faculty mentor. Genetics only allows students to take GENE 4960R and GENE 4970R for 3 or 4 credits, and GENE 4980R for 3 credits. A maximum of 8 credit hours in the research sequence will count towards the Genetics Major Requirements. Credit hours in excess of 8 will count as General Electives. Option 2 Choose two courses from the following laboratory courses: GENE 3210L GENE 3220L GENE 4210L GENE 4220L GENE 4230L GENE 4240L Advanced Choose one course from the following: GENE 4000/6000 GENE 4200/6200 Capstone Complete these two courses only after completing GENE 3000-3000D and GENE 3200-3200D. GENE 4000/6000 or GENE 4200/6200 is also a prerequisite (or corequisite).   GENE 4950 (a total of two 1-hour seminars) Note: Genetics requires review of non-equivalent transfer courses for Major Requirements.

Major Electives (9-12 hours) A course used to satisfy a major elective cannot be used to also satisfy a major required course. One course in GENE research (GENE 4960R) can be counted as a major elective, but only if the supervised research option is not selected to fulfill the Laboratory requirement. Non-equivalent transfer courses cannot satisfy the major electives requirement. 1.) Choose two different courses from the following: ADSC 4420 BINF(PBIO) 4550/6550 ECOL 4500/6500 GENE 3210L GENE 3220L GENE 4000/6000 GENE(ECOL) 4020W/6020W GENE 4200/6200 GENE 4210L GENE 4220L GENE 4230L GENE 4240L GENE(CBIO) 4310/6310 GENE 4500/6500 GENE 4520/6520 GENE(ECOL) 4530/6530 GENE 4540/6540 GENE 4550/6550 GENE 4800 GENE 4800H GENE 4840  GENE 4960R PBIO(GENE)(PATH)(BINF) 4510/6510 2.)
