The Neurotechnology certificate prepares students for internships and entry-level careers in neurotechnology, the medical device industry, research and development jobs, or to enter graduate programs in neural engineering, neuroscience, computer science, and biomedical engineering, and electrical engineering. The certificate is more rigorous than the Neurotechnology minor, as it requires additional coursework and a higher GPA.

Requirements

  • Complete a minimum of 20 credits, including:
    • 2 Foundational courses
    • 2 Core Courses
