Students who have strong qualifications in all but one of these predictors of graduate performance and who can provide evidence of a productive experience in laboratory or field science will also be considered for admission.

All applicants (including international applicants) must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination General Test (GRE). GRE scores must not be more than five years old. International applicants whose native language is not English must also complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Applicants who hold a Masters of Science or other advanced degrees are invited to apply. If the degree is in a related field, such students can be admitted in advanced standing, which will shorten the completion time for our PhD.

When applying, be sure to indicate your preference for the Microbiology and Molecular Genetics (MMG) training program on your application.
