生物技术研究生证书提供给希望获得学士学位的学生，他们希望获得与生物技术有关的生物学领域的高级培训，而不必获得硕士学位。进入该计划的学生可能会感兴趣，包括生物化学，生物工程，微生物学，分子生物学，细胞生物学，发育生物学或分子进化。攻读MS学位课程的学生也有资格根据要求并完成课程工作获得证书。由于生物技术的领域非常广泛，涵盖了许多主要的增长领域，例如医学（治疗和诊断），农业（作物和牲畜改良），食品（加工和特种化学品）和生物修复（废物和污染物处置），完成证书课程的学生将有机会在任何子领域追求自己的职业。无论学生
The Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology is offered to students with a bachelor's degree who wish to obtain advanced training in areas of biology that pertain to biotechnology without necessarily earning a master's degree. Students who enter this program may have a variety of interests, including biochemistry, bioengineering, microbiology, molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, or molecular evolution. Students who are enrolled in the M.S. degree program are also eligible for receiving the Certificate upon request and completion of the course work. Since biotechnology is a very broad field covering a wide variety of major growth sectors, such as medicine (therapeutics and diagnostics), agriculture (crop and livestock improvement), food (processing and specialty chemicals), and bioremediation (waste and contaminants disposal), students who complete the Certificate program will have opportunities to pursue their career in any of the subfields. Regardless of the students' eventual career goals, the expected outcomes of this program are to prepare all students with the fundamental knowledge of molecular biology and its techniques that are essential for employment or advanced studies related to biotechnology. Therefore, the requirements of Molecular Biology and Recombinant DNA Techniques are necessary.
