The Department of Human and Molecular Genetics offers training that combines preparation for a career as a genetic counselor with research-based doctoral training in a coordinated program that integrates the complementary aspects of these two degree categories.

The Master of Science in Genetic Counseling program is accredited by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. The master’s degree requires four semesters of study for students entering with a bachelor’s degree, and it must be completed within five years. The student working toward the Master of Science has an integrated and progressively complex classroom and supervised clinical experience. The program requires an original research project under the supervision of a faculty adviser. In this dual degree program, clinical exposure/experience will begin in year 3.

The straddling of the student and professional roles is a lifelong process in the changing field of human genetics and genetic counseling. Graduates of this program will be contributing members of the clinical genetics team of counselors, physicians and basic scientists.
