How does the thesis process work?
A series of workshops in the spring semester of the first year allow students to talk through ideas. Each student should ideally have a topic at the end of the second semester of the first year. The thesis topic is chosen by the student and approved by supervisors. The thesis faculty encourages creativity is the selection of the project and expects that it will add to the body of knowledge in the genetic counseling field. The approximate length of the written thesis is 25 pages. Theses are due in March of the second year. Students present their thesis work at a poster session in May of the second year; further, each student has the opportunity to make a short oral presentation about their project to faculty and supervisors.
