Requirements for Admission

Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, awarded within the preceding nine years. Students whose biology degree was awarded 10 or more years prior to entrance to the UC Denver program will be expected to retake or show competence in the biology core courses. Successful applicants generally have earned an overall GPA of 3.0 or better. Most applicants have an undergraduate major in biology or a related field. Students entering the master’s program in biology must have completed the equivalent of a minor in biology (see above). Although a deficit of one course is allowed, this must be completed within the first semester of entering the master’s program and will not apply toward the degree. Both the general GRE and biology subject GRE are required of all applicants, with scores above the 50th percentile required on all parts. The graduate application form is submitted online to UC Denver graduate admissions. The biology supplemental application form is also required and is submitted directly to the biology program.
