Application for Assistantship Separate application is not required. We provide full financial support, via either a teaching or research assistantship, for all students whom we accept. This support is the same for both foreign and domestic students. In other words, if you are accepted for admission into the program, you will be supported as long as you make reasonable progress toward a degree. In addition, students supported as Graduate Teaching Assistants are eligible for in-state tuition and fees.
Reviews consist of evaluations of all items listed as required.
Prior research experience, as indicated by publications in print or in press, or in letters of recommendation, is an important consideration in our evaluation as well. Decisions are made in favor of those applicants whose credentials are believed to indicate the most promise for becoming successful graduate students. Incoming graduate students may be admitted to either M.S or Ph.D. Degree programs in Biology or Microbiology. Admissions are made only through the recommendation of the Director of the Division of Biology to the Dean of the Graduate School. Use them as you wish.
