Students must complete at least 11 units (3 core +  a min. of 8 elective units) for an Ecosystem Genomics minor.

Per the Graduate College's requirements for the official Plan of Study, a minimum grade of C for each course is required (assuming the student's overall GPA remains 3.0 or higher, per Graduate College requirements).  

Core Coursework:

• course: Current Topics in Plant Science - Advanced (1-3 units)

• course: Ecosystem Genomics Seminar (1 unit)

Complete 3 courses (min. of 8 units), choosing one course from each of three of the following four areas (to be chosen in conjunction with advisor/graduate advising committee).
