专业概况

在这里学什么？

Molecular genetics is the study of genes and the ways in which their RNA and protein products work together to make cells and organisms. By understanding genetic function at a molecular level, you will learn how normal organisms develop and function, and how genetic changes lead to disease. Studies in molecular genetics provided the foundation for new developments like gene therapy and personalized medicine. Through a major in molecular genetics, you will investigate and synthesize diverse fields including genetics, biochemistry, evolution, chemistry, genomics and others.

Curriculum

Molecular genetics majors build a strong scientific foundation that supports advanced course work in molecular biology and genetics.

Prerequisite courses in math and science provide a critical foundation for future learning both in the program and in graduate study. These courses include:

• general biology
• calculus
• general chemistry
• organic chemistry
• general physics

The molecular genetics major requires successful completion of 30 credit hours. Five core courses provide training in genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, developmental genetics, and population and evolutionary genetics. Students are also expected to develop research experience, either by taking a molecular genetics lab course or by completing mentored independent research in a faculty laboratory.

Beyond these core courses, students will also complete upper level course work offered by the Department of Molecular Genetics or approved courses offered by other life sciences departments; students work with their advisors to select courses that fit their individual interests. Of note, students with strong interests in plant biology may choose to complete the specialization in plant cellular and molecular biology within the major.

Possible careers

The rigorous scientific course work of the molecular genetics program prepares graduates a wide variety of career fields and graduate and professional programs.

Many graduates pursue advanced degrees in fields such as medicine, genetic counseling, dentistry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine. Graduates who earn advanced degrees often find work in pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries or pursue careers in academia as professors.

Other graduates find employment directly after graduation in biomedical research, pharmaceutical or scientific sales, teaching, marketing, or technical writing.
