This program has provided a deeper understanding of the molecular basis for the functioning of all living organisms. The specialization in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and Genetics has been designed for students who wish to focus specifically on these aspects of biology. The specialization requires two introductory biology courses, three CMG foundation courses in cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology, and four courses chosen from a list of CMG advanced electives. In addition, there are Biology breadth requirements in physiology/neuroscience and ecology/behavior/evolution, as well as standard requirements in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. CMG students gain additional, specialized knowledge and experience in one or more of the CMG disciplines and are thus well prepared for graduate or professional study in the biomedical sciences.
