The program is divided into several interest-based "Groups" whose identity may change with the changing interests of faculty and shifts in biomedical technology and priorities, but at present comprise the following: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Genetics; Biomedical Engineering; Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology; Microbiology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases; Molecular Medicine; Neuroscience; and Structural & Computational Biology and Biophysics. Entering students apply to, are admitted to and then affiliate with a Group, thereby placing them with that cohort of students and faculty that most closely reflects their scientific interests. The courses, faculty, students, and most importantly, laboratory research opportunities in all Groups remain completely accessible at all times, regardless of a student's Graduate Group affiliation. After the first year, students select a degree granting Dept. in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences or School of Engineering in which to pursue their Ph.D. Most students also elect to affiliate with one of our many Advanced Graduate Training Areas that offer an wide range of opportunities for research and professional training in select areas of contemporary research including Biotechnology, Cancer, Cardiovascular Research, Cell and Molecular Biology, Molecular Pharmacology and many more. We feel that this design is unique among major biomedical research institutions in the country and offers students the optimum blend of flexibility as well as immediate opportunities for specialization     Accreditation Information: The University of Virginia was chartered by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1819. It is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate, master's and doctoral  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent  Pre-Requisite Courses Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Biology, Physiology  International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   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: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
