Overview

To provide the basis for advanced research, introductory courses covering both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems are taken in the first year of the Genetics and Molecular Biology program of Emory University.

Features

First-year students obtain practical research training by participating in eight-week rotations in the investigators' laboratories of their choice. These rotations provide the basis for selecting dissertation topics and mentors.

After completing the first year, students tailor their curriculum from a large list of specialized courses in genetics and molecular biology, as well as other areas of current biological sciences.

Other requirements

General requirements

Applicants to the GMB program should have strong undergraduate backgrounds in the physical, chemical, biological, or behavioral sciences.

Three general criteria are used to evaluate applicants: GPA, research experience, and letters of recommendation. Over the last 5 years, accepted students have had better than a B+ average, and strong undergraduate or professional research experiences. Students must indicate that they are highly motivated for a career in biological or biomedical research.

Students who have strong qualifications in all but one of these predictors of graduate performance and who can provide evidence of a productive experience in laboratory or field science will also be considered for admission.

International applicants whose native language is not English must also complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
