Hey Everyone!馃珎

At Wichita State University, I have had the opportunity to pursue both a Biology degree and a Health Science certificate concurrently. I strongly advise looking into the certificate programs that many universities, including our own, offer to anyone who is thinking about how to maximize their time in college.鉁煓傗嶁啎锔

Certificate Programs: What Are They?

A set of concentrated courses called certificate programs help students to become experts in a particular field irrespective to their major. They can be an excellent way to delve deeper into a subject you're passionate about or that fits with your career aspirations, and they usually take less time than a complete degree.馃摐

My Journey: Biology and Health Science馃К

While pursuing my biology degree, I came to the idea that I wanted to add health science expertise to my degree . I decided to pursue a Health Science certificate as a result, which I can finish in addition to my major coursework! This combination makes perfect sense to me since, as someone who is interested in both biology as a discipline and its practical uses in healthcare, this degree allows me to learn more about the health industry without having to postpone my studies.馃┖

How Do I Get Started?

Speak with your academic advisor on campus if you have any questions concerning certificate programs. They can advise you on how to find a certificate program that best suits your interests and how to incorporate one into your existing academic schedule. Spend some time figuring out the various certificate programs to discover which ones pique your interest and fit with your professional objectives.馃搶
