Curriculum
There are three certificates from which to choose: the Certificate in Regulatory Science, the Certificate in Translational Science, or the Certificate in Entrepreneurial Science.
- The Certificate in Regulatory Science focuses on the development of new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the efficacy, quality, and performance of FDA-regulated products.
- The Certificate in Translational Science aims to develop a strong foundation in the fundamental techniques of translational research.
- The Certificate in Entrepreneurial Science focuses on the translation of biomedical research into innovative solutions and the development of approaches to commercialization.
Students choose at least 2 electives from their selected certificate based on their career goals. Students may take elective courses outside of these recommendations, but must obtain permission before enrolling.
The certificate programs require a one-year engagement in a research project. This will take the form of a new research project or as an additional aim to research currently being conducted. Prospective students will identify a mentor and define the research project at the time of application.
