We are an interdepartmental graduate group at the University of California - Davis, offering Master's and Ph.D. degrees. The scope of research going on within the group is very broad, and students in the program are expected to develop a similarly broad base of knowledge within the field of genetics. For more information, see our official website.

Every spring, you will need to submit separate progress reports to the GGG and to Graduate Studies.
If you are entering the program from out of state, you should start acting like a California resident as soon as possible. This includes getting a CA driver's license and vehicle registration if applicable, registering to vote and voting, signing a lease, setting up a bank account, etc. Once you have been living here a year, you qualify for resident status. In June of your first year, you should file a petition to be reclassified as a resident the following fall. This means a difference in tuition of about $5000 per quarter. The GGG block grant covers non-resident tuition during fall and winter rotations, but your major professor has to cover it after that. TAships do not pay non-resident tuition.
In the fall, winter, and spring, but not the summer, you should always be registered for at least 12 units.
Before every quarter that you are a teaching assistant or a research assistant/graduate student researcher, you will have to fill out an eligibility checklist for the department that is paying you.
