Important Note About Registration

If you plan to complete this certificate program, you must notify Catherine Winslow (catherine.winslow@wright.edu) before registering for the courses.

Overview

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense series of courses at Wright State University is excellent for students new to CBRN defense and contributes volumes to those who work with CBRN defense in their careers and military jobs. Courses normally taught to Army, Air Force and Marine CBRN units typically include the key learning points for the selected threats but rarely peek behind the curtain. WSU's CBRN Defense courses move into graduate-level learning with a wide variety of threats that most military units have never heard of but could likely encounter. Classes are offered online every semester.

Courses Offered

These courses greatly enhance CBRN responders’ ability to speak confidently about the full spectrum of CBRN threats. As a leader and a scientist within the CBRN community, a student who earns a CBRN Defense Graduate Certificate will clearly be set apart from his or her peers as a true CBRN professional.
