Other requirements

General requirements

While each applicant's qualifications are reviewed as a whole, the following are required: Applicants to the program must have a bachelor's degree in biology or other relevant fields from an institution of higher education accredited by a Mason-recognized U.S. institutional accrediting agency or international equivalent. Additionally, all MS concentrations require a GPA of 3.00 in biology coursework or in the last 60 credits of undergraduate study. Students must also submit three letters of recommendation and scores on the GRE general exam. GRE is waived for those with previous MS degree in any field, with graduate-level certificate or at least 9 credits of relevant non-degree studies. Previous research experience or relevant employment is a plus. Admission is contingent on acceptance by a faculty research advisor.
