Program details

Overview

The biotechnology certificate at Ball State is a short, laboratory-centred sequence for students who want practical grounding in the life sciences. It is delivered on campus and draws on the biology faculty's research activity and equipment. Participants train in techniques such as molecular biology and work closely with instructors on hands-on projects. The sequence is intended to lead toward jobs in the biotechnology industry, universities, or public agencies, and it also helps students prepare for further graduate study. The certificate is open to undergraduates in their final two years, to graduates adding it as a non-degree credential, and to students who fold it into a master's program. Most students finish within one to two years, depending on their starting point.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Open to undergraduates in their last two years of study; to bachelor's degree holders as non-degree-seeking students (coursework does not count toward a degree); or to bachelor's degree holders including it within a master's degree, which requires at least two extra courses.
