INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS

For general information about the Program and the Graduate School consult the Graduate Catalog

NOTE: No applicants are admitted into the program until a CEMB faculty member agrees to sponsor the applicant and accept them into their research program. The sponsoring faculty member will provide direction for education and research, and will arrange for any assistantship. How to obtain a sponsor is covered under Tips and Suggestions

The Cell and Molecular Biology Program is primarily a Doctoral Program. Approximately 75% of the students admitted are for the PhD. Students with a BS degree can be admitted directly into the PhD program without a MS degree.
