BSTP ADMISSIONS


Admission Requirements

Undergraduate Coursework: You'll need fundamental coursework to succeed in biomedical graduate study. Organic chemistry and mathematics through calculus are required. Coursework in biology is also required and full courses in biochemistry and molecular biology are strongly recommended.

Exams: The GRE general test is required. A GRE subject test is desirable, but is not required. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for foreign students unless they are from an English-speaking country or have a degree from University program where the instruction is primarily in English.

Research Experience: Experience performing original research is strongly recommended. This might stem from an undergraduate honors thesis, summer research, or a technical position.


The Admissions Process
Students usually apply in the fall or winter and begin their studies the following summer. The application deadline is January 15th, but your application will be considered as soon as it is received.

Your completed application will be reviewed by an Admissions Committee that includes a member from each Ph.D. program. Successful candidates will be invited to Case to visit our Program at our expense. This visit to Case allows you to:
  • meet with faculty whose research you would like to explore
  • interview with faculty advisors
  • experience the research power at Case
  • meet current graduate students
  • meet other prospective graduate students
  • experience life in Cleveland
