BSc in Genomics and Molecular Genetics in East Lansing United States | Michigan State University

The genomics and molecular genetics major offers a comprehensive scientific education focused on genomics and molecular genetics. While most coursework follows a set curriculum, students can customize their studies by selecting from various elective options aligned with their interests. Upon graduation, students qualify to seek certification from the American Society for Microbiology's National Registry of Microbiologists. This Bachelor of Science program aims to deliver extensive scientific training with a concentration in genomics and molecular genetics. While following a structured core curriculum, students can personalize their academic path by selecting relevant course combinations. Program graduates become eligible to apply for microbiology certification through the American Society for Microbiology. Alongside the College of Natural Science's general requirements, this undergraduate program includes essential coursework in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and biology - forming the necessary groundwork for advanced genomics and molecular genetics studies. To enhance program adaptability and intellectual engagement, students are strongly advised to complete at least two (preferably three or more) semesters of supervised independent research.
