About the course

Our program provides students with rich clinical experiences working with diverse patient populations to prepare them for competent practice in a wide variety of settings. In addition, our program provides students a strong foundation in genomics that prepares them to integrate current and future genomic technologies into evidence-based practice.

　　Our goal is to provide our students an educational environment which is conducive to developing the skills, knowledge and attitudes (practice based competencies) needed to function successfully as productive and responsible genetic counselors in a variety of work settings. Students are expected to complete the program in two years (five semesters) on a full-time basis. Approximately eight students are accepted into the genetic counseling program each academic year. The high faculty to student ratio provides the opportunity for individualized instruction and mentoring. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
