Participants in the Regenerative Engineering Training Program are eligible to apply for a Certificate in Regenerative Engineering upon completion of the requirements detailed below. The certificate bestows formal recognition of competency in the subject area on a student's transcript, and is typically awarded at the time of graduation. Requirements are intended to substantially mirror those of the RE-Training Program, and any student who wishes to pursue the certificate should apply to join the program first.
The certificate program is administered through the Graduate School, and qualified participants must submit an Application for Graduate Certificate after all certificate requirements are met and before filing for graduation. Successful applicants must earn at least a 3.0 average GPA in certificate-related courses, and fulfill the Ph.D. program requirements of their home department. If you wish to pursue the certificate, please notify mcccenters@northwestern.edu of your intentions.
Certificate Requirements
Applicants are required to complete at least five courses from the following list in order to be eligible for the certificate. Please note that the courses listed are broken down into five content areas, and completion of at least once course from all five is required to earn the certificate. For instance, completion of BMD_346 OR BMD_347 will fulfill the same course requirement, but completion of both does not provide applicants with additional credit towards the certificate.
