| The Area Certificate in Human Biology is an interdisciplinary certificate program within the College of Arts and Sciences that is partnered with the IU School of Medicine. It is a 28-29 credit hour certificate program. The objectives of the certificate are to provide students an introduction to the biological sciences and relate the sciences to ethical problems raised by the relationships of human beings to one another and their environment.
In addition, students will develop an electronic portfolio in the capstone course, HUBI B480, that demonstrates the connections they have made between the courses they have completed as part of the certificate and where they are directing their careers and studies upon graduation.
Many students who are seeking admission into Allied Health and other professional degree programs graduate from Indiana University with a General Studies degree. The Certificate offers an opportunity for students to distinguish themselves from others seeking similar employment and academic admission.
