FAQ Page

Do you offer financial support for the PhD Program?

Graduate students who are candidates for the PhD are accepted into TSGP with a commitment of full financial support (tuition, stipend, health insurance fees) while their research and academic studies progress satisfactorily.  The Graduate School guarantees this support for 5 years, as will be stated in each student's acceptance letter; every effort is made to provide funding for students in good standing whose work extends beyond the 5th year, and so far no student has ever had to leave any program in the Division of Biology and Medicine because of a loss of financial support beyond the 5th

Are GRE and/or TOEFL/IELTS required?

General and subject GREs are not required or considered for Therapeutic Sciences Graduate Program admission. Instead, we view each application as a whole, and place emphasis on more powerful predictors of success, such as letters of recommendation, research experience, personal statements, academic performance and interviews. In evaluating individual academic performance, we consider personal hardship and other challenging factors that may affect performance.
