Certificate in Biomedical Sciences

The Certificate in Biomedical Sciences Program at The University of Texas at Dallas offers students the opportunity to further their undergraduate education by taking science coursework focusing on the integrative scientific study of biological issues related to health and medicine. Many students seek this coursework to prepare for a career in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physicians assistant, physical therapy, optometry, or podiatry.
