As the Functional Genomics program prepares for the next exciting part in our history with the upcoming merger with the Genetics program, we are in the process of updating our core curriculum. If you have questions about the curriculum, please contact Director of Graduate Programs Dr. Spencer Muse (muse@ncsu.edu) or Graduate Services Coordinator Tyler DeAtley (tdeatle@ncsu.edu). Below is our historical curriculum. If you are interested in the proposed curriculum for the new program, you may see the proposed curriculum here.
Functional Genomics
MR (non-thesis Masters)
Course Requirements (total of 30 credits)
- Genomic Sciences Core (12 credits)
- ST 590A: Intro. Bioinformatics (3 cr)
- GN 735: Functional Genomics (3 cr)
- GN 701: Molecular Genetics or BCH 703 Macromolecular Synthesis and Regulation (3 cr)
- PP 810/PP 610: Genomics Journal Club (1 credit, to be taken twice)
