Prospective Student Events

Open Houses & Webinars

We host several virtual admissions events each year, between June and November.  Dates are announced on the website and through Facebook and Instagram in advance of each session. 

Join us for a virtual open house on Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00 PM Eastern time

If you are planning to apply to a graduate genetic counseling program this fall or later, it's the perfect time to focus on what you can do between now and the end of the year to strengthen your application.  We'll talk about how we review applications and their individual components, what we are looking for in potential students, and what you should (and shouldn't) include in your application.

We hope to see you there: Tuesday, June 16, 2026, from 7-8 PM Eastern time.

Summer Internships

In summer 2026 we are again offering full-time, paid, six-week long summer internships for undergraduate students from populations/groups that are under-represented in genetic counseling. Lasting six-weeks (from mid-June to the end of July), this experience provides students interested in a career in genetic counseling with exposure to a broad range of clinical genetics specialties, research and laboratory work, shadowing in multiple clinical settings, and opportunities for one-on-one interviews with genetic counselors and current students.

The internships are funded by the Alliance for Genetic Counseling Fellowship, through a grant from the Warren Alpert Foundation.

Visit our Summer Internships page or the AGCF website to learn more.
