Admission Requirements
Graduate School of Biomedical
Sciences admission requirements are: a bachelor's degree, undergraduate
GPA of at least 3.0, GRE score of at least 1000, TOEFL score of
at least 550. In addition to the graduate school requirements are
program requirements of a bachelor's degree in a natural science
or engineering. A degree in some other field must have provided
sufficient science and mathematics courses to give the applicant
the equivalent of a degree in natural science or engineering.
Applicants must have
undergraduate credit for the following courses:
Biology: Two
semesters of general biology (Two years for Radiation Biology
PhD)
Chemistry: Two semesters of general chemistry (through
biochemistry for Radiation Biology PhD)
Physics: Two years of general physics (two semesters for
Radiation Biology PhD)
Mathematics: Through calculus and ordinary differential
equations
Computer Science: Introduction to Computer Science (one
semester)
Although students
may be admitted with deficiencies, which can be eliminated by
successfully completing approved courses at other institutions,
all deficiencies must be removed before admission to candidacy
for a degree.
Additional Prerequisites
for Medical Physics Applicants:
GRE: Require
physics GRE as well as general exam
Math: Four semesters of Calculus. Students must indicate
courses providing experience with linear algebra and fourier analysis.
Physics: BA in physics or appropriate science or engineering
that includes at least: an upper level course in E&M, two
additional upper level courses such as modern physics, classical
mechanics, introductory quantum mechanics or thermodynamics.
Admission
Procedure
Applications for admission
into the Graduate Program in Radiological Sciences, are screened
by the COGS Sub-committee, through out the year. Deadlines for
consideration of applicants are as follows (approved by COGS monthly,
starting January):
To be considered for
the fall semester, the deadline for applications is March 1st.
All application materials must be received by March 1st.
To be considered for
the spring semester, the deadline for applications is September
1st. All application materials must be received by
September 1st.
After the beginning
of the semester for which a student applies, an Admission Recommendation
form will be sent to the Associate Dean indicating rejection due
to incomplete application materials, noting the specific items
that are missing. A student may reapply for the following semester
once his application materials are complete.
The sub-committee
will present the candidates for acceptance and rejection to the
COGS. By majority vote, a student may be recommended for admission
to the Dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The
applicants are informed, in writing, by the Dean of the action
taken on their application and of any contingencies imposed upon
acceptance.
The Graduate Program
in Radiological Sciences uses the following guidelines, approved
by COGS on June 17, 1992, for selection of applicants: 50% from
Texas, 25% outside Texas, 25% foreign (approved 6/17/92).
