Graduate Certificate - Biotechnology

The Biotechnology certificate program is designed to train electrical engineers in the medical uses of diagnostic imaging instrumentation, biotechnology professionals in the development of tissue implants, and mechanical engineers in the design of artificial joints.

Program Highlights
The certificate program allows students to focus on biomedical instrumentation, biomedical optics, biomaterials/biotechnology and tissue engineering or other related areas of study.

Through industry-based projects and case studies, the four-course program provide students with the fundamentals and practical considerations in the field, including construction of recombinant DNA and the production of enzymes, therapeutic proteins, vaccines and small-molecule primary and secondary metabolites.

Applicants will be required to upload a copy of transcripts received from each college or university attended where credit was earned toward an undergraduate, graduate or professional degree. Transcripts for study abroad or transfer programs are not required if the course titles, grades, and credit hours are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution. If the transcript is in a language other than English, please provide an official translation. If you are offered admission, you will be required to request that official hard copy transcripts from all of your degree granting institutions be sent directly to Tufts.
