Stanford University recently announced that their School of Medicine and School of Engineering have jointly created their first online professional certificate program, the Stanford Genetics and Genomics Certificate. Courses in this program are taught by faculty from Stanford’s Department of Genetics, while the Stanford School of Engineering, through its Stanford Center for Professional Development, shares its expertise in delivering global online instruction. Participants may take individual courses within the program, or earn a Stanford professional certificate in genetics and genomics by completing two core courses and 4 elective courses in topics such as biotechnology, stem cells, cancer, gene therapy, pharmagenomics, and biology. The self-paced courses employ online lectures, videos, and exercises, and may be taken at any time anywhere in the world.
