How to Apply
The application process has two components: arrangement with an individual Faculty member for supervision of the thesis research, and formal application to the Department/University for acceptance into the graduate program.
Prospective students should first review the list of Faculty members ("About Us") to identify areas of research and potential supervisors that are of interest to them. Prospective students should then contact individual Faculty members directly to determine whether that Faculty member is interested in supervising new graduate student trainees. Prospective students must have made a tentative arrangement with a Faculty member for supervision of their graduate program before their formal application to the Medical Genetics Graduate program can be considered by the Medical Genetics Graduate Program Committee.
