The MSGE program provides in-depth training in genetic epidemiology through unique coursework and training opportunities.

What is genetic epidemiology? Genetic epidemiology is an interdisciplinary field that draws on training in epidemiology, genetics, and biostatistics. This unique field examines how genes and environmental factors interact to influence health and disease in human populations.

The Master of Science degree in Genetic Epidemiology at the UW was one of the first such programs to be developed. Training in genetic epidemiology focuses on methods to identify genetic diseases and their interactions with environmental exposures in populations. The program emphasizes applied research skills.

As part of its recent 5-year review by the U.W. Graduate School, the MSGE program was extensively evaluated by a review committee made up of internal and external reviewers. The official review committee report stated that the program is "...positioned to be at or near the top for the foreseeable e breadth of courses in genetic epidemiology and public health genetics is likely unequaled at U.S. e program also benefits from superb faculty from a variety of disciplines".

Learning Objectives for the MSGE Program in Public Health Genetics

The Master of Science degree offers advanced training in Genetic Epidemiology with an emphasis on applied research skills to understand the etiology and prevention of complex diseases with genetic and environmental components. Completion of this degree prepares graduates for careers in academic institutions, health care delivery systems, public health departments, governmental agencies, and the private sector, particularly biotechnology. The core curriculum develops competencies in genetic epidemiology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics within the broader context of ethical, legal and social issues. The degree requires coursework in genetic epidemiology, epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, law, and bioethics. Upon completion, graduates will have been introduced to the research principles and methods that will enable them to design, conduct, analyze, and interpret genetic epidemiologic research. Successful completion requires a research-based master's thesis.
