About Bachelor of Science - Genetics and Cell Biology
Program Description
Genetics and cell biology is the science of heredity. It is studied at the level of whole organisms (classical or transmission genetics), the DNA itself (molecular genetics), or whole populations (population and evolutionary genetics).
Geneticists use molecular approaches to investigate how genes determine physical traits, including susceptibility to diseases and inherited disorders. Cell biology focuses on the structure and function of the components of living cells (such as the cell membrane, the flagella responsible for cell movements, cell differentiation in developing organisms, abnormal cell division, and metabolic interactions between cell compartments).
The genetics and cell biology major at WSU offers a specialization track for pre-medicine students and a minor in genetic counseling that prepares students for entry into Masters programs in this field.
Supplemental Pre-Professional tracks are available for students interested in pursuing further professional education. If there is interest in one of these tracks in addition to the degree, please let the recruiter know. The options are:
- Pre-Dentistry
- Pre-Law
- Pre-Medicine
- Pre-Nutrition & Exercise Physiology
- Pre-Occupational Therapy
- Pre-Optometry
- Pre-Pharmacy
- Pre-Physical Therapy
- Pre-Physician Assistant
- Pre-Speech & Hearing Sciences
