    Students can obtain a Bachelor's degree in the related fields such as biochemistry or molecular biology. Internship programs are available and in order to become a genetic counselor or geneticist, students most hold a minimum of a Master's degree. Those interested in doing research or working in a laboratory must also acquire a Ph.D. in human genetics or MD and the requisite physician licensing. Certification programs and degree programs for human genetics are accredited by The American Board of Genetic Counseling.
