Post-baccalaureate Certificate Program in Molecular Diagnostics, Curriculum
Certificate students in Molecular Diagnostics typically begin the program in August and spend two semesters on campus followed by a 6-month practicum semester at an affiliated Molecular Diagnostics laboratory. Limited space may be available for certificate students to begin in January.
Required coursework at the Storrs campus:
MLS 201 Introduction on Medical Laboratory Sciences (2 cr.)
MLS 208 Immunology for MLS (3 cr.)
DGS 234 Diagnostic Molecular Technologies (3 cr.)
DGS 235 Lab in Molecular Diagnostics (2 cr.)

Additional coursework may be required by the Program Director to meet program requirements.
The Practicum Semester:
The final semester of the Molecular Diagnostics Certificate Program is a 6-month, full-time (40 hrs/wk) practicum experience in Molecular Diagnostics (January – June or July – December). Students are assigned to one or more affiliated laboratories to fulfill this requirement. Only a few sites are within commuting distance of Storrs, therefore, students may have to relocate for the practicum semester.
Required coursework for the practicum semester:
DGS 251 Specimen Processing (2 cr.)
DGS 252 Nucleic Acid Isolation (4 cr.)
DGS 261 Amplification Methods (6 cr.)
DGS 273 Research in Molecular Genetics (1 cr.)
In addition, students must take one (1) of the following courses*:
DGS 276 Topics in Molecular Genetics (2 cr.)
DGS 253 Cloning Techniques (2 cr.)
DGS 254 Blotting Applications
DGS 278 DNA Sequencing
DGS 279 Microbiology Applications in Molecular Dianostics (2 cr.)
* Not all of the optional courses are available at all practicum sites.
