Certificate of Graduate Study
Biomedical Sciences
All students enter the biomedical sciences program as candidates for the MS degree.
While the majority of students elect to complete the two-year master’s program or
pursue a professional degree, students who successfully complete the foundation (first-year) of the program are eligible to receive a certificate of post-baccalaureate graduate study (CGS)
as a terminal award.
