Research Oral Biology Admissions Requirements Candidates should have a quantitative aptitude and a strong commitment to research. A prior masters or doctoral degree is not required, though candidates with advanced degrees may be given preference. Application Deadline and Materials Admission criteria are applied equally to all applicants regardless of race, gender, national origin or religion. The University of North Carolina encourages minority students to apply.
Preference is given to students who wish to study for the Ph.D. degree.
Research experience is an asset, and a statement of research interests and goals is desirable. Selection of candidates will be done on a competitive basis by faculty of the Oral Biology Ph.D. Program serving on a selection committee. Candidates' research interests, research qualifications, and appropriate opportunities will be significant factors in selection. Applications are generally accepted for admission to the Fall semester, and preference will be given to applications received by The Graduate School of the University of North Carolina by January 31. Applicants sending their materials later than the January 31 deadline have less opportunity for admission.
