Application Procedure
For Admission to Program:
Each applicant must have a minimum of a B.S. in a basic or applied science, although preference may be given to M.S. level applicants.
Applicants must present Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for the Verbal, Analytical and Quantitative tests. The minimum combined Verbal and
Quantitative scores must be 1000. Although not required, scores from an advanced test related to Molecular Biosciences may increase a candidate's chance for admission.
Prospective students must also submit three letters of recommendation, and a personal statement (maximum of two pages) describing their academic and research goals, as well as a $50 non-refundable application fee.
Once the basic Graduate School application requirements are met, applications will be forwarded to the Molecular Biosciences Program Committee for review and determination of student admission and funding.
The deadline for receipt of all application materials for consideration for Fall admission is February 15.
