Therefore, applicants who already have academic graduate degrees should be able to pursue new subject matter at an advanced level without the need to enroll in a related or similar graduate program. The Graduate Council views academic degrees not as vocational training certificates, but as evidence of broad training in research methods, independent study, and articulation of learning. Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field.Īpplicants Who Already Hold a Graduate Degree.If the applicant has completed a basic degree from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these) and.A grade point average of B or better (3.0).A bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution.The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division: *GRE score submission is not required for application to the MCB program. The faculty is organized into five divisions: Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology Cell and Developmental Biology Genetics, Genomics and Development Immunology and Pathogenesis and Neurobiology.

The types of living organisms from which the departmental faculty draws its working materials are as diverse as its disciplinary specializations, ranging from viruses and microbes through plants, roundworms, annelids, arthropods, and mollusks to fish, amphibia, and mammals. This agenda covers a broad range of specialized disciplines, including biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, structural biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, developmental biology, tumor biology, microbiology, immunology, pathogenesis, and neurobiology. The teaching and research activities of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) concern the molecular structures and processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms. The training is intellectually focused, but at the same time offers an unusually wide range of opportunities for varied disciplinary specialization.

This program provides advanced training in the research methods and concepts of the study of the molecular structures and processes of cellular life. The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology offers a program of graduate study leading to the PhD in molecular and cell biology.
