In general, conditions for admission to the program are good academic standing within the Graduate School and an interest in pursuing a research and training program in molecular biophysics. Students with strong backgrounds in the physical sciences and mathematics will be well-prepared to join the program.
All students are required to enroll in the course Mathematical Methods, to be taken in the summer semester before the second year of graduate study. Students may obtain full credit for this course by satisfactorily completing all written assignments.
Students ordinarily apply for formal admission to the program after completion of the first-year curriculum, but are encouraged to participate in the program informally at any time after admission into the Division of Basic Science. It is not necessary that a student within the program choose a dissertation research mentor who is a member of the faculty of the program, provided that the student has sound reasons for his/her choice.
