Applicants must have earned a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent at the time of enrollment. One year of chemistry is the only specific course requirement, but courses in physical chemistry and calculus are strongly recommended. These courses can, however, be taken while in graduate school. For combined-degree students, the Medical College Admission test or Dental Admission Test may be substituted for the Graduate Record Examinations. Applications may be filed at any time but preferably before April 15 for the next academic year, which begins in the latter part of August.
Late applications limits the possibility of receiving financial aid.
Applications should be submitted to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics.
