The MCD department welcomes applications from students pursuing a Master's degree, which generally involves a two-year curriculum supervised by a faculty advisor. To be considered for the M.S. program, applicants must secure a faculty sponsor from MCD Biology prior to applying. A sponsorship letter from this faculty member must accompany the application, confirming their approval for the student to join their research lab as a Master's candidate. While this letter doesn't need to commit to financial assistance, it must clearly state the faculty's endorsement.
Although this lab acceptance letter is mandatory for M.S. program admission, its submission alone doesn't ensure acceptance into the program.
Student must have a four-year bachelor's degree at an English-speaking institution.
