Health Sciences Certificate

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.
