Qualification Requirements
To apply to the Ph.D. program in Biology, you must have completed an undergraduate major in one of the biological sciences or a related discipline. One semester of genetics, molecular biology, or biochemistry is required, and a semester of each is highly recommended. In addition, you must have completed one year each of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, and mathematics through introductory calculus. We prefer applicants to have completed one or more courses in an area of biology in which you hope to focus your doctoral research. Although you should complete all prerequisite courses prior to enrollment in the program, the department may allow you to make up limited deficiencies during your first year of graduate study. International students who have not received a U.S. degree will also be required to present either TOEFL or IELTS scores as evidence of English proficiency.
Applicants to the Doctor of Philosophy program must also present:
Official transcripts of all undergraduate (and any previous graduate) work.
Evidence of successful completion of a bachelor's degree with an overall cumulative index of 3.0, along with a 3.5 or higher average in biology, chemistry, and physics courses.
Evidence of an overall cumulative index of 3.0 or higher in graduate work, if applicable.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score reports are optional for this program.
Three satisfactory letters of reference from science faculty in your most recent program of study.
A one-page essay describing your interests, career goals, and special aptitudes.
