There is no baccalaureate degree program in genetics (only master's and Ph.D. degrees). However, undergraduates can complete a minor in genetics or can pursue their interests within the context of any of the following B.S. degree programs: biology, animal sciences, biochemistry, microbiology, plant biology, or zoology. Students interested in preparing for graduate work in genetics at UNH or elsewhere should contact the chairperson of the Genetics Program early in their undergraduate careers for advice on courses.
