The certificate in computational genetics (CCG) is intended for students who are either interested in applying to graduate-level programs
or planning careers in computational genetics, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, or other programs in quantitative biomedical related
research. The goal of the CCG is to
provide students with guidance, coursework, and relevant data design and analysis experience necessary for graduate school applications. This is a highly competitive option and only
open to declared genetics majors. The
certificate is awarded only in conjunction with the awarding of a baccalaureate
degree in genetics. At the end of the
program students will:-
have gained competence in genetic data analysis
using basic computer programming and statistical analysis;
- be prepared to apply to M.S. or Ph.D. graduate
programs in the areas of computational genetics and bioinformatics; and
-
be prepared to apply for career positions in
industry, biotech companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical centers, or
universities.
