Students apply to the track directly (start with the inquiry form) but must be admitted into the Graduate School through primary, degree-granting programs and departments. Presently participating degree granting programs and departments include Human Genetics, Molecular and Cellular biology, Physiology, and The Program in Neuroscience. You can directly apply to any of the departments or programs above or you can go to the official graduate admission form and fill out an on-line application. Successful applicants have a bachelor's degree with training in an appropriate major field, strong letters of recommendation, and high GPAs and GRE scores. International students must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam. Although applications are reviewed throughout the year, students are encouraged to apply early. Admission to the program is highly competitive, and acceptances are made as qualified candidates are identified. Advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D. follows successful performance in departmental courses and qualifying examinations as specified by the student's parent degree- granting department or program. Once admitted into the Functional Genomics and Molecular Medicine Training track, students are free to pursue their doctoral research with any faculty member within the program, regardless of departmental affiliation. If you have additional questions, contact the Director of the the Functional Genomics and Molecular Medicine Training track. Our interdepartmental design provides maximum flexibility, allowing students merge a foundation of knowledge in traditional biomedical fields with research skills in functional genomics. In this way, students acquire a unique complement of talents to fully take advantage of career opportunities in the post-genome sequencing era. |
