Why a Toxicology Certificate?
Toxicology crosses a broad range of disciplines including biology, pharmacology, chemistry
and medicine. OSU offers a graduate certificate in Interdisciplinary Toxicology Many
students combine the graduate certificate in interdisciplinary toxicology (12 hrs)
to further enhance their training.
The Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Toxicologyprovides students with a survey exposure to basic concepts and principles in toxicology. Twelve credit hours to include courses from at least two different participating departments/colleges
(see Courses Offered) are required for conferring the Certificate. This Certificate
will prepare students from multiple backgrounds in environmental and public health
issues surrounding chemical toxicity. Students apply for admission through the Graduate College.
