General Requirements
Requirements for admission to graduate study in Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology (BCMB) include a bachelor's degree from an accredited
institution and the equivalent of an undergraduate major in Biochemistry,
Chemistry or another biological science. Students with majors in
other areas are strongly encouraged to apply, with the understanding
that deficiencies will be eliminated in the first year of residence.
How to Apply
Apply online at http://www.applyweb.com/apply/ugagrad or contact one of
the following:
You must submit:
- Official transcripts of all colleges and universities attended.
- Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Only the verbal
and quantitative portions are required; arrangements for the GRE
may be made through the Educational Testing Service, Box 555,
Princeton, NJ 08540, or see
their website for details.
- Official TOEFL scores for foreign applicants.
- Three letters of recommendation by persons familiar with your
academic credentials, training and research potential.
When to Apply
The majority of graduate students enter the program in the fall
semester (August) of each year, as the core curriculum is offered
chronologically beginning in the fall. Some exceptions are made
for those with a strong biochemistry background or an MS degree
from an accredited institution. The application deadline for financial
support is January 1st, but occasionally, funding can be found at
a later date for excellent candidates. We strongly encourage submitting your application by December 1st to be guaranteed evaluation for all financial awards.
Admission
The Graduate Recruitment and Admissions Committee determines admission to the BCMB Graduate Program. Admission guidelines are fairly flexible. In general, it is expected that prospective students have a minimum GPA of 3.0, a combined verbal and quantitative GRE score of 1200, and excellent letters of recommendation. Other considerations such as laboratory experience, publication record, prior degrees, etc., may negate deficiencies in these three primary areas. In addition to the above, foreign applicants must have excellent TOEFL scores.
