Behavioral Pharmacology Certificate Program

The certificate program in behavioral pharmacology is offered by Rutgers' Department of Psychology at New Brunswick/Piscataway. The program's primary goals are to provide undergraduate students with an integrated academic and practical background in psychopharmacology and the behavioral sciences that will enhance their eligibility for employment in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and/or health-related industries. The certificate program provides a direct service to the diverse social and economic needs of New Jersey and serves the interests and needs of students at Rutgers. In general, the program will produce a well-educated and experienced workforce that will be attractive to employers in various sectors of the biomedical research community. Applications for the program and the requirements are available from the Department of Psychology. Professor George Wagner is the director of the program (gcwagner@rci.rutgers.edu).

Student Qualifications for Program Entry

 2. Completion of General Psychology (01:830:101) and Quantitative Methods (01:830:200) with grades of C  or better.

 3. At least a B (3.0 to 4.0) average in the major.
