Basic Core Science Studies

About

Prepare for a new career as a healthcare professional with Temple University's Postbaccalaureate Certificate in Basic Core Science Studies in the College of Science and Technology. This 37–38-credit program is designed for college graduates with limited coursework in basic sciences who need enhanced academic preparation before applying to professional schools.

Students gain the necessary knowledge base in general sciences required for professional school through a rigorous and structured suite of prerequisite and scientific training in the basic health sciences. This interdisciplinary degree program draws scholars from across the university and its health system to provide advanced coursework in the following subjects.

General, organic and biological chemistry
Physics
Introductory and advanced biology (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, immunology, pathology and physiology)

Through the curriculum, you'll learn critical analysis, communication and problem-solving skills. Educational opportunities including seminar series covering science & non-science topics, and an introduction to the review of scientific literature, help you build these skills.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

University degree requiring four years of study.

Request one certified copy of official transcripts from every college and university you have attended, even if only one course was taken. International degrees must be assessed for equivalency with a U.S. degree based on the characteristics of the national educational system, the type of institution attended and the level of studies completed. A minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is ordinarily required for admissions consideration. If unofficial transcripts are submitted during the application process, submission of official academic records will be required by the end of your first term of graduate study if you are admitted and subsequently enroll at Temple University.

2. Ensure you use the same name on your application and standardized tests.

Use the exact same name on your application that you used when registering for your standardized tests. Slight differences in your name can cause your application to go unmatched with your reported test scores and delay the processing of your application.

You can find the correct mailing address or alternate electronic submission information on the degree program’s "Contacts" page in the Graduate Bulletin. All application materials, including portfolios and exhibits, become the property of Temple University and will not be copied, forwarded to another institution or returned.
