Admission requirements
In addition to the instructions for admission to the graduate program, the department requires the following information from each applicant to the M.A., M.S., M.S.T., or Ph.D. program in biology:
- Satisfactory scores on the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
- Two letters of evaluation from persons qualified to assess the applicant’s promise as a graduate student.
- The student should also submit an application directly to the Biology department using the online form found on the department’s website.
The prospective student should realize that a high GPA and acceptable GRE scores do not guarantee admission to the graduate programs in biology because of variables including the availability of appropriate advisers, research space, and departmental resources.
