Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 3.66 GPA, 80.0% A/AB (n=35 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.30 GPA, 47.8% A/AB (n=23 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.41 GPA, 69.0% A/AB (n=29 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Design experiments to discover the genes and defects within genes that cause diseases in humans

  • Understand how model organisms are used to investigate the molecular mechanisms for genetic disorders

  • Design and interpret diagnostic DNA-based tests for the detection of allelic variants that cause disease

  • Know the diverse physiological-developmental mechanisms that underlie a broad spectrum of diseases

  • Devise strategies to develop therapies to treat or cure disease and understand the limits therapeutic interventions

  • Develop a report on (1) the design of a diagnostic test for a genetic disorder, (2) the molecular biological pathways affected by the genetic disorder, and (3) application of the understanding of the disorder to develop a therapy or management regime
