Graduate Field of Genetics and Development
Degrees offered: Ph.D.
Faculty members in this field have research interests that range from molecular genetics to developmental and evolutionary genetics. Entering students work for brief periods (laboratory rotations) with several faculty members during their first year before choosing a major advisor.
Graduate students are required to pass an oral qualifying examination before the beginning of their fifth semester and must obtain at least two semesters of teaching experience during their program of study.
