Molecular Biosciences

Description

Students who earn an undergraduate molecular biosciences certificate will understand the foundations of three fields of study: genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry, and will know how to use these disciplines to make informed decisions about current societal issues.

Certificate recipients will be prepared to work in both science and non-science careers, qualified for employment opportunities with non-profit organizations and government agencies involved in science making decisions, and be top prospects for private sector businesses that require employees with interdisciplinary scientific training.

Requirements

You're considered a non-degree student for admission purposes if you don't intend to complete a degree at WSU and are taking coursework for personal enrichment, to transfer to another college, or for a teaching endorsement. If you're not seeking a degree, there are a few limitations on financial aid and graduate study:
Non-degree students aren't eligible for financial aid.
If you decide to pursue a degree at WSU, you have to apply for regular admission status.
Course work completed as a non-degree student can't be applied toward a graduate degree, and you can't enroll in 500-level business classes or in courses at the 600, 700, or 800 level

Work Experience

No work experience is required.
