Graduate Certificates

The graduate certificate is a great option for someone who is not immediately prepared to commit to a full Master's degree program.   A certificate provides an opportunity for anyone to explore options by taking relevant courses as non-degree seeking students.  There is no committment to complete the certificate before making the decision to become degree-seeking.  The option to pursue the Master's degree is always available. 

In most cases, credits earned towards a certificate can be applied to the Master's degree for a maximum of 12 credit hours.  We currently offer certificates in:

Aging & Neuroscience  

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology  

Bioinformatics   

Biotechnology  

Cardiovascular Engineering  

Clinical Investigation  

Health Sciences (100% online)  

Medical Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology  

Medicine & Gender  

Molecular Medicine
