The Genetics Program encourages students from other disciplines to minor in genetics. Nine credits in genetics are required. Students planning to minor in genetics must have at least one member of the Genetics GIDP on their Comprehensive Examination Committee and must submit the appropriate form to the Executive Committee through the Graduate Program Coordinator for approval and signature.
Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs
The Graduate College sponsors several Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDPs) in addition to the many interdisciplinary possibilities available through regular graduate degree programs. GIDPs transcend departmental boundaries by facilitating cutting edge teaching and research at the nexus of traditional disciplines. The high value placed on interdisciplinary research and education is indicative of The University of Arizona's enthusiasm and commitment to fostering innovation and creativity among its faculty and students.
