The Field of Genetics, Genomics and Development requires graduate students to take one semester of BioMG7810, one semester of BioMG8340 or equivalent, three courses in a breadth requirement, three semesters of BioMG7800, a course on ethical issues in science (e.g., BioMG7510, Ethical Issues and Professional Responsibilities), and attend and participate in the Wednesday Field Seminars (12:20 pm; BioMG7860). Attendance at Friday Molecular Biology & Genetics Seminars (4:00 pm; BioMG7870) is also required. Additional course requirements, including the graduate minor, are set by the members of the studentâ€™s Special Committee. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their breadth and minor requirements by the end of their first year. Students are expected to take a minimum of 12 credits of GRADED courses during their first year in our program. For courses with a letter grade, students are expected to receive a B (3.0) or better in order to remain in good standing in the program. Grades below B- in a studentâ€™s major area do not constitute satisfactory performance, and the course(s) must be retaken if it is a required course. If a student receives a grade below B- in two or more classes, he/she is at risk of being asked to leave the program (see First Year Evaluation below). Please note that there is apparently a long break between the two semesters. However, first year graduate students are expected to be working on their first or second rotation (see Laboratory Rotations) during the intersession period.
