Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

The Natural Sciences Ph.D. program's molecular biology and biochemistry discipline integrates academic training and research into the study of these areas. In this program, students engage in coursework, conduct research, attend seminars, participate in a teaching program and complete a dissertation. The research opportunities span various aspects of modern life sciences, addressing fundamental processes at the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels.

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores will be evaluated by the disciplines [If an applicant's GRE scores are more than five years old, and other predictors of ability to do doctoral-level work in the applicant's file are marginal, the applicant may be asked to retake the GRE general test before an admission decision is made].

A grade-point average of at least 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale) covering all college work taken prior to the bachelor's degree, or a grade-point average of at least 3.0 covering all post-baccalaureate work completed to date.
