Faculty: David Geffen School of Medicine | Department: Human Genetics | Study mode: full-time | Intake: Fall | Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States
Areas of study: The field of human genetics incorporates multiple areas of modern experimental biology (including but not limited to molecular and behavioral genetics, epigenetics, biochemistry, cell and developmental biology, imaging, and large-scale omics approaches such as genomics, transcriptomics and functional genomics) and of computational biology (including bioinformatics and biostatistics). Students are required to take the Human Genetics courses 236A and 236B or, under exceptional circumstances, equivalent graduate-level courses approved by the Program Director.
Application deadline: December 1, 2026. GRE: General and Subject optional. Letters of recommendation: 3. In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose. Applicants are expected to hold a bachelor's degree, with preparation through upper division courses in genetics, biology, molecular biology, cell biology, or other life sciences fields. Because of the data analysis expertise required in some areas of human genetics, advanced courses in statistics or computer science may be substituted for advanced biologically-oriented courses. More advanced degrees (M.S., M.D. or equivalent) are also acceptable.
Most graduate departments and schools have deadlines in November and early December for the following fall term.
Graduate application fee: $135 for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, $155 for all other applicants; deadlines are set by each programme, mostly in November and early December for the following fall.
