I built the California Institute of Genetics because I saw a gap nobody was filling.
Thousands of biology graduates in California — smart, motivated, well-trained — but with no clear pathway into the genetics and molecular diagnostics workforce.
A master's degree can cost $40,000+ and take two years.
But entry-level genetics roles at companies like
Ambry Genetics,
Natera,
Fulgent Genetics, and healthcare systems like
Kaiser Permanente
often pay $55,000–$85,000 per year.
The demand for trained genetics professionals is real.
The affordable training pathway wasn’t.
So we built one.
🧬 Graduate Diploma in Medical Genetics
📍 California Institute of Genetics
✅ BPPE Verified Exempt Institution — California
⏱ 8 months | Fully Online
💵 $2,499 all-inclusive
Months 1–3
Nine self-paced courses covering cellular biology, molecular biology, human genetics, genetic disease, and genetic testing technologies.
Months 4–6
Live instructor-led training in clinical genetics practice, variant interpretation, pharmacogenomics, and clinical genetics reporting.
