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. 

Meet the Current Students at our Upcoming Virtual Open House

A panel of second year MSGC students will join Associate Program Director Lisa Kessler, MS, LCGC, and Assistant Program Director Tiff Hartman, PhD, LCGC, to answer your questions and to share their experiences as applicants and GC students at the University of Pennsylvania.

We hope to see you there: Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 7-8 PM Eastern time.

Summer Internships

In summer 2025 we again offered 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.

Stay tuned for plans for summer 2026!
