E-mail: bvalent@k-state.edu

The graduate certificate requires a minimum of 15 credit hours. To pursue the Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology graduate certificate the student must file an application for admission with the program coordinator. A genetics course is a pre-requisite for entry into the program.

Required courses (6 credit hours)


Laboratory course (2-3 credit hours)*


*Students whose graduate research involves use of biotechnology laboratory techniques will not be required to complete a laboratory course. An exemption from this requirement will be granted by the Program Director if the student demonstrates use of the range of covered techniques by coauthor status on a publication (either submitted or published), or first author status on an abstract for a presentation at a national meeting, and/or direct confirmation of the contribution by the student’s advisor. In this case, elective courses may be substituted for the laboratory course to reach the 15 hours of minimum credits required.

Electives (6-7 credit hours)
