University of Colorado Denver Graduate School Biomedical Sciences Program MS 8112, Research Tower 1 South 12801 E. 17th Ave Aurora, CO 80045 US   Phone: 1-303-724-3278 Fax: 1-303-724-3247   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral Ph.D. in one of ten biomedical basic science Ph.D. programs (e.g., Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, etc.) On Campus   The Biomedical Sciences Program (BSP) at the University of Colorado Denver is an umbrella admissions process designed to provide incoming students with the greatest amount of flexibility in choosing a course of study. During their first year, BSP Fellows enroll in a comprehensive graduate core course, and selected electives in a discipline of their interest. BSP students also conduct three laboratory research rotations concurrent with their enrollment in the graduate core. Students may rotate with any three of the 140 faculty that participate through 13 Basic Science Programs within the Graduate School. BSP students are introduced to cutting-edge research literature and methods and a broad range of biomedical bench research opportunities at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.      Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees The Graduate School requires completion of a baccalaureate degree with a minimum 3.0 grade point average. The admissions committee considers the student's cumulative and science GPA's and the types of courses taken as indicators of readiness for graduate work. Competitive candidates have strong backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physical science, and mathematics.  Pre-Requisite Courses Coursework in two or more of the following subjects is recommended: physical chemistry, cell and molecular biology, genetics, neurobiology, developmental biology, virology, immunology, and physiology.  International Student Requirements The BSP accepts a limited number of students year and there are very few places available for international students. We advise international students to consider applying through individual programs on our campus. International applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English by achieving a minimum score of 550 on the paper version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or a 213 on the computerized version of the TOEFL. In addition, they must complete a financial affidavit showing adequate funds to live and study in the United States for one year.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Summer internships in a hypothesis based wet lab are looked upon as a strong addition to a student's application.  Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Three letters of recommendation are required. Recommendation letters may now be requested and completed on-line; follow the instructions in the on-line application. If preferred, you may continue to use the paper recommendation by downloading the Request for Recommendation in the on-line application. The Admission Committee assigns considerable weight to these letters in assessing a student's qualifications and probable success as a scientist. It is advantageous to have letters submitted by faculty who are well acquainted with the applicant's academic performance, research experience, and achievement potential.    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:       1/1/2010 Application Deadline Application Deadline Completion of student applications for enrollment in the Biomedical Sciences Program at the University of Colorado Denver Graduate School
