Graduate Certificate in Biomedical Science

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The goal of the proposed certificate is to provide a post-baccalaureate experience that will prepare students for future clinical training, particularly schooling for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant, or veterinarian. This certificate is distinct from the MS in biology, which aims to provide a broad experience in biological research. Certificate students receive integrated career and academic advising through the UNO Health Careers Resource Center (HCRC).
Original research is an integral part of both the thesis and non-thesis degree options. Faculty areas of expertise include ecology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, taxonomy, behavior, and developmental biology of a wide variety of organisms. The MS degree prepares students for employment in industry, private or government agencies, and academics, as well as further education in professional programs, such as the PhD or MD.
