Máster en Ciencias en Genética Humana y Genómica – En línea

Genomics is revolutionizing nearly every area of biomedical research and healthcare practice. SCU’s Master of Science in Human Genetics & Genomics (MSHGG) (Pending WSCUC approval) includes not only traditional genetics, but also the latest developments in genomics research, advanced diagnostic technologies, and gene editing.

The program is designed for students seeking a genomics-centered biotechnology career in industry or academia. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree can benefit from the advanced knowledge of the rapidly growing field of genetics and genomics. The MSHGG degree is also valuable to clinical laboratory scientists who wish to further their careers and expand their opportunities. The MSHGG degree provides state-of-the-art knowledge in genetics and genomics to meet the demands of biotechnology, academia, and clinical practice.

The degree can be earned completely online.

A horseless carriage (one of the few) “sped” down mud and brick roads. A pioneer fervor dominated the thinking of progressive civic leaders. Los Angeles, “The City of the Angels,” was a bustling city of 319,000 inhabitants. Movies were still in their infancy, still silent.

In this milieu, Dr. Charles Cale and his wife, Linnie, committed themselves to disseminate the knowledge of a little known, yet ancient, healing art chiropractic. Dr. Cale sought to formalize the training of chiropractic physicians.

By 1911, when modern chiropractic was only 16 years into its history, Dr. Cale applied for and received a charter for Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC). The Cales began the first classes in their home, a nine-month course of study that included anatomy, chiropractic principles, and technique.

The end of the 20th Century brought a major change to what had been LACC for the past 89 years. The College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CAOM) was added and the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) was created to house both LACC and CAOM. This marked a turning point from an institution offering a single program to a multi-program university with plans of offering additional programs in what society has labeled alternative health sciences.

In 2020, the university continued to grow adding two new master's programs; Master of Science in Medical Science and a Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. In addition, the university was restructured to include LACC, Accelerated Sciences Division, Eastern Medicine Department, Ayurveda Department, IPE Department, Physician Assistant Program, and Health Science Program.
