Graduate Students
Admission into graduate programs is based on the applicant’s:
- undergraduate record
- three letters of recommendation
- previous research experience and
- shared interests with one or more potential faculty advisors
Read these resources about applying to graduate programs in the Department of Biology.
A warrant is an academic program’s recommendation that a student be admitted to doctoral candidacy (a preliminary examination warrant) or be granted a degree (master’s or doctoral), and is the Graduate School’s declaration that a student has met both the Graduate School and the program requirements.
Master’s students need to request just one warrant to graduate; doctoral students need to request a warrant to take their preliminary exams and another warrant to graduate.
Reach out to your Graduate Program Manager for more information.
