Course Descriptions
1. Prerequisites1
Course | Semester Hours |
---|---|
Biochemistry (BIOC:3110 or BIOC 3120 and BIOC:3130 or equivalent) |
3-8 s.h. |
Organic Chemistry (2 semesters) |
6-8 s.h. |
Fundamental Genetics |
3-4 s.h. |
Introductory Physics, one year, college level |
6-8 s.h. |
Calculus or Statistics, one year of either |
6-8 s.h. |
1 Note: These prerequisites would be typical for a student entering with a Biology background. Students entering with a Computational background may need to make up missing courses; the trade-off is that these students will typically require fewer computer language courses, for example.
2. Genetics (9 sh) (assuming Fundamental Genetics and Biochemistry are taken as prerequisites)
Course Number | Course | Semester Hours |
---|---|---|
BMED:5207 | Principles of Molecular and Cellular Biology | 3 s.h. |
Core Genetics (BIOL:3713, BIOL:3172, BIOL:4333, GENE:7191, or equivalent |
3-4 s.h. | |
GENE:6150 | Genetic Analysis of Biological Systems | 3 s.h. |
3. Computing (6-9 sh) (credit for previous classes available)
Course Number | Course | Semester Hours |
