Genetics Program (GEN)

Professor: W. Kelley Thomas, Louis S. Tisa
Associate Professor: Estelle M. Hrabak
Assistant Professor: Vaughn S. Cooper
Research Assistant Professor: Kevin Culligan

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.

Requirements: Completion of 20 credits from the courses listed below, with a grade of C- or better, is required for a minor in genetics. At least two courses should be selected from each of the categories. Four (or more) credits of GEN 795, Investigation in Genetics, may be counted as one course toward fulfillment of the minor.
