Students admitted to the program are required to have completed a four-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) with a GPA of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0, in an area of science (the life sciences, physical sciences or engineering). If English is your second language, you must have a TOEFL score of 80 or higher or an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher. We offer both a thesis and non-thesis track. Our default admission is to the non-thesis track. A student who would like to complete a thesis track is required to select a major adviser, which is done by mutual agreement between the student and faculty member. Students should contact potential mentors to discuss interests and potential projects. View a list of faculty accepting master's students. Students are encouraged to select a major adviser and contact the program coordinator within the first semester of study to avoid delays in degree progress.
