Graduate Options for Microbiology
Application Requirements
Apply Online
Students interested in microbiology can pursue their interests through one of several graduate options:
Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics
Applicants must have completed a bachelor's degree or the equivalent before beginning graduate study. Applicants who already possess a Ph.D. degree will generally not be considered for a second Ph.D. degree. Transcripts, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and the applicant's statement of purpose are all required components of the application and are carefully weighed during the evaluation process. The admissions committee may also consider research papers, publications and other original work.
