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.

The certificate shows the student has completed an integrated biomedical sciences curriculum including courses in anatomy, neuroscience, physiology and other biomedical science disciplines. Successful completion of the Certificate of Graduate Studies indicates the student is able to:

  • demonstrate an advanced understanding of important fundamental concepts of the biomedical sciences (i.e., structure and function of cells and organ systems, etc.).
  • communicate scientific information in written and oral forms.
  • apply information skills to access, synthesize and interpret medical literature.
  • utilize technology to acquire information and solve problems in health sciences.
