Advance your scientific background, skills and knowledge in preparation for professional school or a career with a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Biomedical Sciences General Studies.
Students who have successfully completed the foundation year of the MS in Biomedical Sciences program and have completed, or are pursuing a concentration other than general studies, may apply to the certificate program if the program requirements are met.
The 12-credit certificate program is only available to PCOM biomedical sciences students at PCOM Georgia.
Students pursuing the CAGS in Biomedical Sciences General Studies must:
Please note, a total course load of 10 credits or greater is not recommended if currently pursuing a MS degree.
Award of the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Biomedical Sciences General Studies is contingent upon completion of four (4) of the eligible courses with a minimum total GPA of 2.0 in those four courses in addition to the successful completion of the MS in Biomedical Sciences degree at PCOM.
PCOM is committed to helping students maximize funding sources and minimize student debt. Visit our Office of Financial Aid section to learn about cost of attendance, types of aid available and how to apply for financial aid.
For more information about the CAGS program, please contact Interim Program Director Brian DeHaven, PhD, at briande@pcom.edu.

This CAGS is designed for those students who desire to strengthen their academic acumen in the Biomedical sciences in preparation for admission to a health professional program.聽
The ideal student is one who has successfully completed the first foundational year of studies at PCOM (GA, SGA, PA) and has completed, or is currently pursuing, a MS degree in a second year concentration other than General Studies.
A CAGS in General Studies will only be granted to students who successfully complete a MS degree in Biomedical Sciences at PCOM
