MGCS Information Sessions

Annual Open House

This annual August event provides prospective students with an overview of the profession, information on the application process, and an opportunity to ask genetic counselors and current students questions during an interactive Q&A session.

The next open house will be in August 2025.

Information Sessions With Current Students

These one-hour, virtual sessions occur three times in the fall. Current genetic counseling students host each session and will provide a brief overview of the profession, followed by an interactive Q&A where they may share their own pathways towards becoming a genetic counseling student, or what a day in the life of a current student looks like.

Registration is required. Please choose only one session. Upcoming session dates/times will be added once registration is available.

Office Hours

A member of the program leadership team is regularly available for virtual “office hours.” This one-hour session is a place to bring questions about the program and the application process. Please note that any advising will be limited to general questions about the application process. Specific application materials will not be reviewed. It is ok to discuss opportunities for advocacy, but we will not review a personal statement. These sessions are open to all and no RSVP is needed; join the zoom link to attend.

Dates and Times

All sessions are 1–2 p.m. CST.
