A laboratory course where students will carry out experiments in classical transmission genetics, as well as modern molecular genetics.

A critical thinking and problem solving course designed around principles of genetics. This computer-simulated laboratory course will appeal to students with a background in basic mathematics and genetics by requiring logical thinking, hypothesis testing, and written communication of results.

Individual or small group directed readings in a selected area of genetics under the direction of a faculty member.

An advanced treatment of evolutionary biology from the level of genes to populations to species.

The response of populations to environmental change can include change in distribution, physiological and behavioral acclimation, or evolutionary change. This class will focus on climate change and marine populations for examples of these responses. Evaluation is primarily through written assignments. Instruction on technical writing and comprehension included.
