Degree-Specific Admissions Requirements |
|
|
In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose. The department encourages applications from students in all areas of science, but expects successful applicants to have or to acquire a background comparable to the requirements for the bachelor's degree in biology at UCLA. A background in chemistry, physics, and mathematics is desirable. Deficiencies in these or other subjects should be made up at the earliest opportunity. Undergraduates who are prospective applicants should remedy their deficiencies by preparatory study at an appropriate institution. Students with academic deficiencies may be admitted on a provisional basis. |
