Admission Requirements
Applicants must possess a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctor's degree in a natural science (physics, chemistry, biology or related fields), engineering, mathematics or computer science. Students with a minor (or the equivalent number of upper division courses) in one of these fields will be considered if their career path involves a strong scientific interest (e.g., science journalism). The baccalaureate degree must be from an accredited college or university with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The admissions committee also may consider applicants with a baccalaureate who have gained scientific competency through work experience or other means.
Applicants are requested, but not required, to submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Aptitude test. Information regarding testing dates and location may be obtained from the Educational Testing Services, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540 (www.ets.org). There is no time limit on how recently the exam was taken; i.e., post-doctoral applicants may submit scores from the GRE that was taken when they applied to a previous graduate program.
Applicants must submit a written statement outlining their vocational objectives and how the degree might relate to those objectives.
