Graduate Certificate in Anatomical and Translational Sciences

The graduate certificate in anatomical and translational sciences (GCATS) in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences educates students in translational sciences with an understanding of human gross anatomy, embryology, functional histology, neuroanatomy, modern stem cell and developmental biology, and technology for biomedical molecular imaging. GCATS offers a contemporary clinical emphasis using problem-based learning. This two-semester program is designed to maximize career opportunities in the health fields, to enhance competitiveness of applications to medical school or physician assistant programs, or to transition into an advanced graduate degree program in the biomedical sciences.
