Overview

Students in the Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology programme at Kansas State University whose graduate research involves use of biotechnology laboratory techniques will not be required to complete a laboratory course.

Key requirements

An exemption from this requirement will be granted by the Programme Director if the student demonstrates use of the range of covered techniques by coauthor status on a publication (either submitted or published), or first author status on an abstract for a presentation at a national meeting, and/or direct confirmation of the contribution by the student’s advisor. In this case, elective courses may be substituted for the laboratory course to reach the 15 hours of minimum credits required.
