The laboratories of the molecular medicine program faculty members are located in modern facilities on the general campus of the Health Science Center and at the University of Texas Institute of Biotechnology. The Briscoe Library maintains an extensive collection of journals in the biological and medical sciences. In addition, there is easy access to the interlibrary loan service of the University of Texas System libraries. Students may also apply for Federal Stafford Student Loans. In the past, all students in the program have received financial support.
Nonresident students receiving assistantships are eligible for resident tuition rates.
Living and Housing Costs Highly affordable and comfortable student housing is available within a 5-minute walk of the Institute of Biotechnology. This recently established program has a current enrollment of 41, of whom 14 are women. The majority of the students obtained their B.S. degrees outside of Texas. It is anticipated that 10 to 15 students will be admitted each year. The enrollment is small enough to permit close association with the faculty yet large enough to allow for a variety of educational experiences.
