Clinical Biology Certificate

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Histotechnology program is designed for students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree in biology or related field meeting all pre-requisites. This 4 + 1 program prepares you for histotechnology certification with one year of additional study. Students receive intense training through a combination of lectures, hands-on laboratory experience and clinical interns

Histotechnology is a structural science that is concerned with evaluation of tissues, their cellular morphology and their chemical composition. Histotechnologists work under the supervision of a pathologist preparing tissue specimens of human, animal or plant origin for diagnostic, research and teaching purposes. The profession of Histotechnology is dynamic—constantly developing new technologies and methodologies. Histotechnologists prepare samples of human or animal tissue for examination under microscopes in order to detect and diagnose disease. They work in hospitals, research labs and medical offices.

Barry’s Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Histotechnology program is accredited by NAACLS as a 4+1 program.

A college education is one of life’s biggest investments. Financial aid funding is available to help students pay their education-related expenses. Financial aid programs have enabled thousands of students to achieve their educational goals.

Barry University encourages students to use their own resources first to finance their education. When personal resources of the student are insufficient to meet the total cost of education, the Financial Aid Office makes every effort to supplement the student's resources with available financial aid.

Barry University participates in the full array of federal and state financial aid programs available to graduate students. In addition to government-funded programs, there is also program-specific assistance, such as scholarships, assistantships, as well as tuition discounts.  About 80% of our student body receives some form of financial aid. At Barry, we are committed to doing all we can to help you finance your education.
