Capstone Certificate Admission Requirements and Application Process
All students must register with the Division of Continuing Studies to be considered for admission to the Clinical Research Capstone Certificate Program. This certificate does not require GRE scores.
Application Guidelines:
- Applicant must complete both steps one and two to be considered (see below). Steps one and two may be completed concurrently.
- Admissions to the program will be for the fall semester only. March 1 is the deadline for all applications to be completed and submitted to ICTR.
- The only exceptions to the rule of exclusive fall admissions would be for students who have already taken BMI 541 and are ready for BMI 542 in the spring semester, or have taken BMI 541, 542, and 544 and are ready for BMI 546.
- International students can only be admitted in the fall semester due to a minimum credit load of 6 credits they must carry with this program; the sequencing of courses does not allow for the minimum credit load if the program is begun in the spring.
