Certificate in Genomic Research Training (Memphis Campus)

The GRTP is a 12-credit hour certificate program designed to empower investigators to effectively use large genomic data sets individually or collaboratively. The program targets research-oriented MD/DO or PhD junior faculty, and senior postdoctoral fellows, who are not in a degree program but are seeking initial training on the methods and skills to conduct genomic research. The program can be completed in 2 years, with the second year primarily devoted to a mentored research project. The mentored research project (BIOE 810) will be 6 credit hours.

The admission requirements are:

A minimum grade point average of 3.0 from the highest attained degree. Transcripts from non-US institutions may require verification by a NACES member service.
Any applicant to the graduate program whose first language is not English and who has earned neither a bachelor's nor a master's degree from a college or university in an English-speaking country must have achieved a TOEFL score of at least 213/79 on the computer-based/Internet-based exam or an IELTS score of 6.5 (earned within 2 years prior to application). Any applicant whose first language is not English but who has earned a baccalaureate or advanced degree from a college or university in an English-speaking country where instruction was in English may be exempted from the requirement for the TOEFL or IELTS examination.
