Integrative and Evolutionary Biology Admissions
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or university, preferably in an area relevant to the research interests in IEB (e.g. biology, bioanthropology, biomedical engineering, psychology, etc.). Applicants are evaluated by their transcripts and GPA, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and relevant research experience. A faculty member must serve as the sponsor of admission to the IEB program and advisor throughout the student’s course of study. We encourage applicants to reach out to potential faculty mentors in advance of submitting their application materials.
