Welcome to the Graduate Program in Genetic Counseling at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center.

We offer a 21 month (5 semester) program of graduate study leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree.  The program is fully accredited by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) for the training of master's level genetic counselors.    

The comprehensive curriculum combines in-depth didactic coursework in the scientific, clinical, psychosocial and professional practice aspects of genetic counseling with extensive, hands-on clinical experience in pediatric, prenatal, adult and specialty genetics clinics.    Clinical training is provided at The Children's Hospital of Denver, University of Colorado Hospital in the Anschutz Centers for Advanced Medicine and University of Colorado Cancer Center, the Regional Genetics Outreach Clinics in Colorado and Wyoming, and other area genetic counseling centers.  All students participate in clinical case conferences, genetics seminars, journal club, clinical research, and educational outreach activities.
