We make our admission process as straightforward and personalized as possible. If you have any questions or need guidance, our counselors and advisers in the College of Arts and Sciences are available to assist you at every stage of your application process.
You can apply for this program up until the spring semester of your junior year using a special application form available in the College of Arts and Sciences. Those interested in this program should contact the appropriate program chair.
Admission into dual-degree programs is competitive. Only students who have earned at least 75 credits with an overall GPA of 3.0 are considered. Meeting the minimum criteria for consideration does not guarantee admission.
Students in the dual-degree program may complete up to 9 credits of graduate courses during their senior year, which also fulfill undergraduate open electives. Students must work with their undergraduate adviser and the molecular and cell biology director to ensure that the courses fit into both degree programs. Students must present satisfactory performance in their graduate course work completed during their senior year to be officially admitted into the graduate program upon completion of the BS degree.
We offer 4 different paths for you to earn your master’s degree in molecular and cell biology.
