Overview

Key facts

The MS Oral Biology degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is formatted by a course component, resulting in a thesis presentation at the end of the program. Candidates are required to complete 36 units, of which 29 units must be Oral Biology core courses. The remainder will be from elective courses (a minimum of six units) essential to the student's research area, and at the graduate level.

The first year of the program consists mostly of oral biology coursework and two lab rotations, although students may start on their thesis research if the subject and lab have been identified by this time.

To be considered for either the MS or PhD program, it’s recommended that applicants hold a degree in the biological (e.g., microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, neurobiology, psychobiology, genetics) and chemical sciences (e.g., biochemistry, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, thermodynamics).
Candidates should also have a minimum 3.0 grade point average in upper division courses in these subjects. Degree-holders from other disciplines, with a strong background in the sciences, are also welcome to apply. A dental background is helpful, but not required.
