Stanford is offering a new certificate in Genetics and Genomics now. Students must complete two core courses and four elective courses which are offered online and are self paced. The core courses include:

• Fundamentals of Genetics: The Genetics You Need to Know (XGEN101)
• Genomics and the Other Omics: The Comprehensive Essentials (XGEN102)

Only one elective courses is available now:

• Principles and Practices of Gene Therapy (XGEN201)

New elective courses should be available soon on the following topics:

• Agricultural biotechnology
• Cancer genomics
• Stem cells
• Personalized genomics
• Pharmagenomics
• Synthetic biology

The total estimate cost for the six courses is very reasonable too.
