Genetics Minor

https://colsa.unh.edu/molecular-cellular-biomedical-sciences/program/minor/genetics

Students in other majors who wish to develop a focus in the area of genetics and genomics can complement their major academic program with a minor in genetics. 

The minor consists of a minimum of 20 credits, completed with a grade of C-minus or better. 

  • No more than 8 credits used to fulfill major requirements may be used for the minor.
  • Minimum grade of C (2.00) is required in courses that the minor department approves.
  • Pass/fail courses cannot be used for the minor.

Students must file an Intent to Minor form with the GEN minor advisor by the end of the junior year and complete a Certification of Completion of Minor form during the final semester at UNH.

A maximum of 4 credits of GEN 795 Investigations in Genetics may be used to fulfill minor requirements.
