遗传学理学学士-遗传与生物技术

遗传学是生命有机体的遗传和变异的科学。遗传学是在DNA /基因/基因组水平（分子遗传学，生物技术，基因组学和生物信息学），生物体水平（经典或孟德尔遗传学）以及个体内部/之中（种群和定量遗传学）进行研究的。历史上最重要的科学成就之一就是使用基因组技术来最近鉴定大多数人类基因以及许多其他动物，植物，真菌和细菌的大多数基因。遗传学计划的本科生必须获得C或更高的成绩才能获得必修的基础科学背景和遗传学核心课程的学分。在遗传学核心课程中，所有专业必须修读一级课程，总共28个学时。为了适应学生之间的不同兴趣，提供了一系
A degree in Genetics can provide excellent preparation for careers in academic research and technical support, teaching, agriculture, the biotechnology industry, medicine and health sciences, forensic science, technical writing, and sales or marketing. It is also an excellent background for students wishing to enter a graduate program, medical school, and veterinary school.<br><br>Undergraduates in the Genetics program must earn a grade of C- or better to receive credit for Departmental and Non-Departmental required courses. Within the Departmental Required courses, Tier I courses must be taken by all majors, for a total of 31 credit hours. To accommodate differing interests among students, a series of Tier II courses comprising 9-11 credits are provided. Ethical considerations of genetic based technologies will be infused throughout the curriculum, with a focused course on Science and Ethics in the Tier III portion of the core curriculum.
