About Bay Path University:
When Bay Path opened its doors to students in 1897, it had a very clear goal: to provide a practical, affordable, and career-oriented education to prepare students to not only meet the needs of companies, organizations, and communities but to also thrive in their professions, identify and realize their dreams, and make a lasting difference in the world. From the beginning, Bay Path prided itself on being entrepreneurial, constantly pushing the boundaries of the academic experience to fit the student...to start them on the road of success. That spirit and philosophy is best reflected in our shared vision, "At Bay Path, every learner's dreams of a better career, a richer life, and a brighter future will be realized."
Recognizing that our learners come first, we know it is equally important that we develop, cultivate, and sustain a culture that binds us together as a community. As part of the University's ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we draw upon our eight Core Values-beliefs that provide the internal framework and a moral compass for how we work and interact with each other.
Bay Path University, an independent and not-for-profit institution, was named Among Fastest Growing Baccalaureate Colleges and Graduate Programs by The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac, and is a member of the Women's College Coalition. With a main campus in Longmeadow, MA, and a satellite location in East Longmeadow, MA, Bay Path offers undergraduate, graduate (for women and men) degrees, and professional certificates.
For 125 years, we have been committed to preparing our students to navigate a constantly changing world. Whether it is one of our innovative academic programs, groundbreaking online learning platform, or our Women as Empowered Learners and Leaders initiative, we educate our students in ways that will help them to grow, learn to adapt, and always to flourish. Be part of the change. Be Bay Path.

Job Description:
- Job Type: Part-time Adjunct Faculty
- Type of class: Online, graduate level class
- Dates: May 5, 2025 through August 29, 2025
- Class schedule: asynchronous, one module per week. Some modules can be synchronous, at instructor's discretion
- Duration of class: 14 weeks
In this course, the students will learn about qualitative and quantitative methods, critical analysis, and scholarly writing techniques so that they can become consumers of available research and be able to conduct graduate-level research projects to improve the field of genetic counseling. The students will choose a partner, and together decide upon a research topic for their capstone project, begin drafting their IRB application(s), find a committee member, and perform an oral defense of their capstone proposal. It is the expectation of program leadership that the individual hired will also teach Capstone I in the fall semester and Capstone II in the spring semester, to provide continuity to the students, if at all possible. Course descriptions for these courses will be supplied upon request.
