Master’s in Medical Genomics
Starting in Fall 2026, pending Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges approval, the Master of Science in Medical Genomics will equip students with the knowledge and skills to decode the human genome and apply that understanding to real-world health care challenges. Students will gain knowledge in the rapidly growing field of precision medicine that will place them in a position to find careers in high-tech, analytical and medical-related fields.
Medical genomics helps us understand how the inherent variations within the human genome impact disease, medical treatments, responses to drugs and other medical outcomes — ultimately to advance precision medicine.
