The Minor in Molecular Life Sciences provides a modern, molecular and interdisciplinary option for students across the science disciplines on campus. Students intending to pursue careers that draw heavily from an understanding of how living systems function, such as medicine, veterinary sciences, dentistry, and pharmacology will benefit from the coherent training paths offered in this minor. Those who wish to pursue graduate training in the life sciences, or access B.S.-level positions in research after graduation, will find that the coursework enhances their sophistication in modern technologies and current research in their career area. Students will be better prepared to digest scientific literature and appreciate modern research strategies, such as bioinformatic approaches and high throughput technologies based on DNA and RNA sequencing.
