The 12-credit Agricultural Biosecurity Research Graduate Certificate prepares future scientists to safely conduct studies across various biosafety level settings (BSL-3, BSL-3 Ag, and BSL-4). This cross-disciplinary program equips participants with essential biosafety protocols, containment procedures, and regulatory expertise needed for high and maximum-security research laboratories. Participants will gain specialized knowledge about pathogens and toxins commonly investigated in these controlled environments.
Administered by the College of Veterinary Medicine, this certificate program serves both non-degree and graduate students, including Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) candidates pursuing careers in high-containment facilities. The curriculum cultivates both respect for and proficiency in the rigorous operational standards demanded by these sophisticated, high-stakes research settings.
