Graduate Certificate in Bioinformatics

Admitted Masters or Ph.D. students under the advisement of WSU faculty, and post-graduate professionals who earned their degree in an appropriate field, are eligible to apply for the certificate program. Students who are eligible will notify their department's graduate committee and their guidance committee of their interest in the certificate. Once the guidance committee has agreed that it is in the student's best interest to pursue and complete the certificate, the student will apply to the Bioinformatics Certificate committee. The application will include a statement from the student's advisor and graduate committee supporting the application. In this way, we hope to enhance the disciplinary degree.

For students to excel and get the most out of their participation in this certificate, we anticipate that students should have proficiency in the following: one year of calculus, coursework in probability and statistics (strongly advised as it is required for some courses). It is also advisable for students to have 1 year of computer programming (coursework or experience), but it is not required.
