Basic Medical Sciences

An undergraduate major in a biologic or chemical science is preferred. Students with other backgrounds will be considered for admission based on their academic record, competence for the BMS curriculum, and their experience. The applicant\'s academic record must include undergraduate level courses in biology (at least two semesters) and chemistry (at least four semesters); additional science courses will be examined for evidence of academic aptitude for an interdisciplinary basic biomedical sciences curriculum. The applicant\'s transcript must report a held, or near completion, bachelor\'s degree or equivalent. To be considered for \xc2\x93Regular Admission\xc2\x94, the applicant\'s transcript(s) must report an earned cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 system). An earned cumulative grade point average of less than 3.0 may be considered for \xc2\x93Qualified Admission\xc2\x94. The BMS program is not permitted to recommend acceptance to the BMS Program under the \xc2\x93Graduate Non-Degree Admission\xc2\x94 category, but will forward suitable applications as judged appropriate. The BMS Program will not consider applications for \xc2\x93Post-Bachelor Admission\xc2\x94 because the BMS curriculum is a graduate, not an undergraduate, curriculum.
