The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a fully funded PhD in Genetics. The Genetics Training Program provides exceptional opportunities to students. The mission is to train students in cutting-edge genetic and genomic research while providing professional development opportunities for successful career trajectories. Students accepted into the Ph.D. degree program initially receive financial aid from either an NIH training grant or graduate school fellowships. In later years, support may be derived from a research assistantship. Genetics students also receive funding from competitive fellowships.
