CMBCRTU - Cell and Molecular Biology for Health Careers

Undergraduate Certificate

College of Science

Undergraduate

This undergraduate certificate program is designed for students who want to supplement their major course work with additional courses in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Courses in the certificate program meet the requirements for upper-division biology electives needed for some professional and graduate schools. Students completing the certificate will have a strong foundation in the basic science needed to pursue a career in biomedicine or health care.

- Demonstrate understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that apply to biomedicine, including how chemical principles govern the activity of life, how traits are inherited, and how phenotypes emerge from interactions among molecules and cells.
- Apply understanding of molecular and cellular mechanism to novel scenarios in biomedicine.
- Apply analytical thinking to biomedical problems involving cell and molecular biology data.
- Communicate effectively about ideas and methods in cell and molecular biology as in a medical context.
