Foundational Courses

Students who have been admitted to the Certificate program but have not completed a Foundational Course(s) may be required to do so with a grade of B- or higher before enrolling in a Core course.

• BISC 609 - Molecular Biology of the Cell Credit(s): 3
• BISC 654 - Biochemical Genetics Credit(s): 3
• BINF 601 - Introduction to Bio Data Sciences Credit(s): 3

• BINF 667 - SEMINAR Credit(s): 1-12 (approved Biostatistics topics only)

Grade Requirement:

Each certificate program course must be completed with a grade of a B- or higher to count toward the degree requirements; a Certificate student must maintain a minimum cumulative graduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale each semester. To be eligible for a Certificate, a student’s cumulative grade point average shall be at least a 3.00 and the student’s grades in courses counted toward the degree requirements of the program shall equal at least a 3.00. A grade below a C- will not be counted toward the course requirements for a Certificate but is calculated in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
