Seminar (Genet 299)
PhD students are required to present three (3) Seminars in addition to their Dissertation
Defense. Students must attend all Seminars sponsored by the Department of Genetics.
In addition, students are required to attend at least one seminar per week sponsored
by other departments or institutions. After three (3) absences from Seminar, the Department Head will ask the student for
an explanation.
Dissertation Research (Genet 400)
The Dissertation research must be a contribution of new knowledge in the field of
Genetics and be eligible for publication in a major peer-reviewed journal. The student is expected to have at least one first author manuscript submitted and
positively reviewed for publication before the dissertation defense.
