HOW UMMC’s ONLINE MOLECULAR MEDICINE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE HELPS HEALTH-PROFESSION SCHOOL STUDENTS
Encompassing broadly applicable topics and skills, the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s online Molecular Medicine Graduate Certificate can be a pathway to many rewarding careers. For some, it’s the first step toward a role in the medical or dental professions.
Successfully completing health-profession school is a prerequisite to qualifying for many jobs in these fields, but only about 40% of health-profession school applicants are accepted. If an unremarkable application is standing between you and your dream career, our Program can play a key role in helping you gain admission.
BE AMONG THE SUCCESSFUL 40%
UMMC’s online Graduate Certificate Program can help you before, during and after your time in health-profession school. Here’s how:

Demonstrate Your Initiative
Are you required to complete a graduate credential before applying to a health-profession school? Typically not. But demonstrating that you’re willing to go the extra mile for your career may improve your standing with an admissions board.
Acquire Skills You’ll Use in Your Next Program and Beyond
Once you secure admission to health-profession school, you may have a leg up on other students based on the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired in our Program. Your command of molecular medicine can also benefit you in your future career.
Add a New Credential to Your Resume
Once you move on from health-profession school, you may be looking for a job worthy of the MD or other title you’ve earned. Your Molecular Medicine Graduate Certificate will stand as a notable achievement alongside your most recent accomplishments.
WHAT’S REQUIRED — AND WHAT TO EXPECT
If you’ve already completed a bachelor’s degree in a science-related major or five semesters of biology, chemistry, engineering, math and/or physics courses with passing grades, you may qualify for this valuable learning opportunity. You must also have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher — a less stringent requirement than many other programs.
