PGCert in Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences

This graduate certificate readies students for graduate study or lab careers focused on cells and molecules. Students learn research approaches, how to design experiments, and bench techniques, and they study about the cellular and molecular side of human cell function and disease. By the end, students should be able to interpret results from work like cell cultures, blood panels and tumor marker assays. They will also be ready to pursue further graduate study in biology and allied sciences. Applicants need a bachelor's degree in a biological or chemical field, or a closely related area, or enrollment in the EDMP2 preparatory program for enlisted personnel, along with a strong undergraduate grade point average. The application includes the Mason admissions form with supporting documents, a statement of interest and three recommendation letters. GRE scores are not required.
