General Admission Requirements

An applicant must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and the equivalent major coursework for the program area to which they apply. To evaluate an applicant, the biology department requires the following:

• transcripts of all undergraduate work;
• a statement of purpose;

two or more letters of recommendation, preferably from science faculty.
When the department receives this information, the completed file is forwarded to the faculty coordinator of the program area chosen by the applicant. The faculty in the program area evaluate the applicant’s file and recommend admission or denial based on the following criteria:

Grade point average in the undergraduate major—minimum required GPA in science courses is 3.0

• Statement of purpose
• Letters of recommendation

Denial of admission may be based on inadequacy in any of the above criteria, if an applicant’s interests are not represented by current faculty, or if faculty in the applicant’s area of interest are unable to support additional students.
