Bioinformatics Certificate Graduate Program
In 2011, Oklahoma State University approved an interdisciplinary Bioinformatics Certification Graduate Program available CAMPUS-WIDE. The Certification program includes specific coursework taking graduate level courses selected for Bioinformatics training. These courses can be coincidental with, or in addition to required courses within the respective Departments. For example, a student could get a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, AND a Certificate in Bioinformatics by including all the required Certificate courses in their plan of study, or, by taking a few extra courses. This effort stems from the Genomics Center core resource facility in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
