Applicants to the Ph.D. program must submit a completed application form, a personal statement describing interest in the program and professional goals, and three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the applicant's academic work, especially in Biology. The Departmental admissions committee will base admission upon these materials and interviews with selected applicants.
Admission requires that the applicant have a bachelor's degree from a fully accredited four-year college or university, a minimal score of 900 calculated from the GPA multiplied by 200 and added to the GRE combined verbal and quantitative scores. Students admitted to the program must take a Departmental diagnostic examination that will be used by the admissions committee to design a curriculum to eliminate any identified weaknesses. After passing the recommended courses with a grade of B or better in each, the student will begin the Ph.D. curriculum.
Students who have completed their undergraduate degree or a minimum of 9 credit hours of graduate courses with a minimum 3.0 GPA at a college or university within the U.S. may submit an official transcript to demonstrate English proficiency.
