Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, College of Biological Science.
The B.Sc. program with a Major in Molecular Biology and Genetics is a broadly based program in genetics including related areas of cell and molecular biology. In consultation with the departmental advisor, students can choose a general program or can focus their courses in areas such as molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, or agricultural genetics. The program qualifies students for postgraduate training in cell or molecular biology and genetics including clinical genetics and genetic counselling, and provides an excellent background for careers in biotechnology, toxicology, agriculture and medical research. Students will normally be admitted to this program in semester 3, but can be admitted at any time thereafter. For admission to this program students should have a minimum 70% average in the science subjects required in semesters 1 and 2.
A total of 20.25 credits is required to complete the Major.
