Graduate training in genetics emphasizes study and research leading to a Ph.D. degree in genetics. The goal of the genetics graduate training program is to train the next generation of professional geneticists. This includes selecting the most promising university graduates for admission to the program and training those students in the methods and logic of genetic analysis. Such analyses are increasingly important in contemporary biological and biomedical research. The curriculum includes:
- coursework on the principles of genetics and on the methods of genetic and genomic analyses
- original research in a specialized area, which culminates in the writing and defense of a doctoral thesis
