Quillen College of Medicine offers courses of study leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Science with concentrations in five basic science disciplines: anatomy and cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, microbiology, pharmacology and physiology. The program is designed to prepare students for professional careers in research in the life sciences. Graduates find career opportunities in a variety of settings including universities, health science centers, health care industry,pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.A unique feature of the Ph.D. program is its multidisciplinary character,giving students a broad choice of faculty and laboratories for their research training. Students are admitted centrally rather than to departmental graduate programs and need not select an area of concentration until the end of the first year of study. An interdisciplinary core curriculum covers the basic knowledge and skills necessary for research in all areas of the biomedical sciences. Students become familiar with the laboratory environment of different faculty through a flexible program of laboratory rotations. After choosing a research advisor, students receive individualized research training. There are currently over 60 faculty, from five basic science and seven clinical departments, participating in the graduate program.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees All applications for admission to the Ph.D. program will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee of the Biomedical Science Program. Admission decisions are made on the basis of an overall evaluation of the applicant’s ability to complete advanced study in Biomedical Science. Particular attention is paid to the applicant’s cumulative GPA, performance in physical science and natural sciences courses, scores for the GRE and letters of recommendation. A personal interview may be required.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements All doctoral candidates must complete a dissertation as a major requirement for the Ph.D. degree.
