Graduate Program in Biotechnology
Admissions

Admission is contingent upon the successful completion of a bachelor of science degree, or equivalent. Applications are evaluated on the basis of grades (minimum 3.0 GPA), three recommendation letters, General GRE scores, and other relevant qualifications. Foreign students will be required to submit a TOEFL score and occasionally a TSE score. Deadline to apply for the Fall quarter is March 31st. Applicant may contact Ms. Cathy Temple, Program Administrator, at catemple@uci.edu for additional information. 

Enrollment in the stem cell emphasis is limited to 8 continuing students per year. Biotechnology graduate students interested in this track apply for admission during the winter quarter of their first year in the program. The stem cell curriculum differs slightly from that of the traditional biotechnology program, although the total number of courses and laboratories is the same (see below).
