Biomedicine Certificate

Semester Hours: 24 21

Some students want to become more competitive applicants for professional health school, and only need a one-year program to enhance their application. Our Biomedicine Certificate certificate allows you to pick and choose which graduate-level natural science courses suit your academic goals the best. Our curriculum will set your application apart with our built-in cross-cultural experience, practicum shadowing, and interdisciplinary course offerings.
