Students with a bachelor’s degree in quantitative biological sciences will be eligible for admission. In addition, the BA students must have completed at least one year of general biology, one semester of biochemistry and one semester of statistics to be admitted into the Graduate School. Under unusual circumstances, conditional acceptance will be offered to students who do not meet these requirements — allowing them to complete the missing undergraduate courses prior to their full admission into the Graduate School. An introductory biochemistry class is also available in the School of Pharmacy, which may satisfy the biochemistry prerequisite.
Course Requirements
The MS program requires 38 graduate-level units with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 including Epidemiology core courses, 15 units; Biological Sciences core courses, 12 units; at least 3 elective units; Research plus Thesis, 8 units. Students must also complete a Master’s thesis.
