Admission Policies of the Graduate Program

The School of Life Sciences encourages applications from students of diverse backgrounds.  Consequently, we do not have specific prerequisites, and would rather consider applicants on their distinctive merits.  However, we do recognize that graduate work in the life sciences requires suitable preparation at the undergraduate level.

Because advanced work in the sciences requires capable people, the University and School have established guidelines by which applications are judged.
