Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Prerequisites and admission procedures for the M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry are identical to those required for admission to the M.A. Program in Chemistry. Although a B.S. degree in chemistry is an optimal prerequisite, students with bachelor degrees in pharmacy, pharmaceutical or biological sciences may qualify if their background in the chemical sciences is of sufficient scope and depth.
The UB Graduate School requires a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent for admission. Applicants should also demonstrate aptitude in the physical sciences and mathematics, as evidenced by their undergraduate transcripts. The General Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores and three letters of recommendation are required for admission. GRE scores in the 50th percentile or higher are desirable. The Chemistry GRE subject test is strongly encouraged but not required.
