Candidates for admission must have training in genetics, biochemistry, general cell biology, organic chemistry, physics, and calculus. A basic course in microbiology is desirable. Acceptance is determined by the applicant's prospects of success, as demonstrated by such criteria as academic transcripts, references and GRE General Test scores. TOEFL scores (minimum score of 550 on Written or score of 213 on Computerized), or comparable evidence of competence in English, are required of international applicants. Applications and supporting credentials are due no later than January 15; initial decisions are announced no later than April 1. Later applications are considered as they are received until the enrollment quota of the program has been filled.
