Admissions
The candidate should present a bachelor's degree ususally with a major in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or physics, and must submit acceptable Graduate Record Examination scores on the general test. It is recommended that applicants take an advanced exam in the area most closely related to their background. In general, the candidate should have completed undergraduate courses in organic and physical chemistry, general biology, physics, and calculus. A student who has not completed these courses on admission to the program must satisfy this requirement within the first year of residence.
