Graduate Study

The Department of Molecular Biology offers the Ph.D., M.S. and M.A. degrees for students who wish to do graduate work in molecular biology, in preparation for careers in academia, the biotechnology industry, medicine, or other professions. Prospective graduate students should visit the Molecular Biology Departmental web site (www.uwyo.edu/molecbio/) or the Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences web site (www.uwyo.edu/mcls/) for more information.

Program Specific Admission Requirements

A prospective student must apply to a Molecular Biology Department faculty member with whom they wish to work (www.uwyo.edu/molecbio/faculty-and-staff/). Once a mentor has been identified, the student should apply to the graduate program of choice.

Candidates for all molecular biology graduate programs must have attained minimum entrance requirements, as specified by:

Department of Molecular Biology graduate admission requirements, posted at www.uwyo.edu/molecbio/, and
University of Wyoming Graduate Student Regulations and policies, posted on the Office of the Registrar website: www.uwyo.edu/registrar/university_catalog/grad_students.html

Instructions for applying to the Molecular Biology Graduate Degree Programs are posted at www.uwyo.edu/molecbio/degree-programs/index.html.

Program Specific Degree Requirements

Throughout the degree program, a graduate student is guided and evaluated by the research adviser and graduate committee. Here we provide only general descriptions of degree programs. Details of coursework and other requirements for obtaining a Ph.D., M.S. or M.A. degree in Molecular Biology are specified in the Departmental Policies for the Graduate Programs, listed by date of program entrance on the departmental website (www.uwyo.edu/molecbio/).
