Apply to Degree Programs
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences offers a range of graduate programs that provide advanced training in biomedical sciences and prepare students to become leaders in the academic sector, the biotechnology industry or in other areas related to biomedical research. PhD and MS degrees are offered in a number of disciplines.
These programs use a common online application.
In collaboration with Tufts School of Medicine, we also offer an active MD/PhD program supported by a medical scientist training grant from the NIH. Application to the MD/PhD is through AMCAS.
The Application Process
Applying to all of our PhD and MS programs is facilitated by a common online application form. The review and selection of applicants uses a holistic approach and considers a wide range of factors. Many programs conduct on-site or virtual interviews of some applicants.
During admissions season, GSBS hosts several virtual and in person events that describe programs in detail and offer information about the application process. Tips on completing different sections of the application, including the essays, preparing for interviews and other information are shared in these sessions. Most of the sessions are recorded and available for reference throughout the admissions season.
