Health Sciences Advanced Certificate
Introduction & Overview
This 5 course (15-20 credit) certificate program is designed for post-baccalaureate pre-health professions students wishing to enhance their academic profile in pre-health courses prior to applying to a health professions graduate program, including but not limited to careers such as M.D., D.O., D.D.S., or D.V.M. programs, among others.
The program will allow students to complete pre-health courses (e.g.- Principles of Biology, Organic Chemistry, etc.) prior to application to health professional schools (e.g.- allopathic or osteopathic medical school), or enhance their science GPA by taking upper level courses (e.g.- medicinal chemistry, anatomy and physiology I and II) prior to applying. The overall career objective of the certificate program is to ensure a high rate of success for students planning to apply to health professions graduate programs.
Completion of the Advanced Certificate Health Sciences does not guarantee a student admission to any graduate or professional program.
