Additional elective courses from outside of the College of Public Health may be taken. Departments/programs that often have suitable courses are ecology (ECOL) and infectious diseases (IDIS). Students may also find suitable courses in statistics (STAT), wildlife management (WILD), microbiology (MIBO), bioinformatics (BINF), and others. Before pursuing the certificate, students must receive approval of selected electives by the coordinator and coordinator assistant.
| GRSC 7770 | Graduate Teaching Seminar | 1-3 |
Course must be taken by any student who receives any level of support or is assigned teaching duties and does not count toward the program requirement credit hours.
