Current Genetics Students


Our students have come to the Genetics Program after completing a BA or BS degree, usually in a field related to the biological sciences.  Some students have also completed an MA degree.  Current students trained at universities and colleges throughout the United States including Barnard College, Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis University, Clark University, Cornell University,
Grinnel College, Hampshire College, Harvard University, Hunter College, McDaniel College, Middlebury College, Pennsylvania State University, Point Loma Nazarene University, Rutgers University, Syracuse University, Tufts University, University of California, University of Connecticut, University of Iowa, University of Massachusetts, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University, and Vassar College.  Our international students received undergraduate training in Great Britian, India, Korea, the People's Republic of China, Puerto Rico, and Turkey.
