Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences - Neuroscience

University of Central Florida

A bachelors degree in Biological Sciences or related area. The GRE is not required for admission to this program. Three letters of recommendation. A written statement of research experience, area of interest, and immediate and long-range goals. Resume or CV. Applicants applying to this program who have attended a college/university outside the United States must provide one official transcript and official certification of degree, with date awarded. Personal interviews are helpful but not required. Applicants who do not have a competitive GPA may occasionally be accepted if there is other convincing evidence of potential for high achievement and success. Applicants who hold a BS degree in unrelated fields are expected to have the equivalent of 16 semester hours in biological sciences including a course in general microbiology, biochemistry or molecular biology or cell biology, plus one year of organic chemistry, one year of physics, basic university mathematics and statistics, and laboratory skills equivalent to the minimum required of our own undergraduates. Minor deficiencies may be remedied after acceptance by enrollment at the first opportunity in an appropriate course.
