Admission as a classified graduate student to the MS in Biological Sciences requires:
 

• a baccalaureate degree;
• completion of a major in biological sciences or closely related field; or completion of 24 units of upper division biological sciences courses or courses in closely related fields, each of which must be passed with a "C-" or better;
• a minimum GPA of 2.75 in all biology courses and a minimum GPA of 3.0 in upper division biology courses; and
• a faculty member who has agreed to serve as the applicant's graduate advisor.*

It is important to note that meeting all admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the graduate program. Applicants who have deficiencies in admission requirements (e.g., GPA, coursework) that can be removed by specified additional preparation may be admitted with conditionally classified graduate status. Admission as a conditionally classified graduate student does not guarantee fully classified status. Fully classified graduate status is conferred when all deficiencies identified at the time of admission are removed. Any deficiencies in admissions requirements will be noted in a written communication to the applicant.
