The graduate certificate in bioterrorism preparedness is designed as a "stand-alone" certificate or can serve as a "step-up" program into the master of homeland security in public health preparedness.
Students who have successfully completed our certificates in disaster preparedness or bioterrorism preparedness are eligible to transfer 15 credits into the master of homeland security degree once they are admitted to graduate degree status.
