About Our Curriculum
Our Clinical and Translational Science – Certificate curriculum requires only 18 credit hours for completion at Rutgers University. Many of our courses are offered late in the afternoon/evening to accommodate working professionals.
CTS courses outside SGS-Biomedical Health Sciences must be selected from either the School of Graduate Studies (SGS-School 16) or the School of Public Health (SPH-School 75), unless authorized by the senior associate dean. All electives must be approved by one of the CTS Program Directors (millonig@cabm.rutgers.edu; ss2894@rwjms.rutgers.edu) Students must complete a Cross Registration Form to register for SGS or SPH courses. Please contact Dr Millonig (millonig@cabm.rutgers.edu) for registration information.
