KU’s Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Health Sciences helps traditional and non-traditional students complete upper-level undergraduate biology and biotechnology courses. The curriculum allows students who hold a bachelor’s degree to grow in areas where academic strengthening is needed, develop clinical reasoning skills, and acquire additional training to begin or advance a career in health sciences or biotechnology.
This program focuses on developing health science, biotechnology and research science knowledge and skills, which apply toward admission to medical school, as well as a wide variety of health or biotechnology-related careers, depending on the academic track chosen.
