Environmental & Molecular Toxicology

Admission

Prerequisites

Applicants to the Dept. of EMT must have a Bachelor's Degree in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, pharmacy, or other closely related fields. Minimal prerequisites for admission to the Graduate Program normally include one year each of biology, organic chemistry, physics, and mathematics through integral calculus. Students who do not meet all of these requirements may be admitted if their academic record is otherwise outstanding.

Applications are also invited from students with the M.S. degree in chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and related fields, or the D.V.M. or M.D. degree. Advanced placement can be accomplished by transfer of relevant course work to Oregon State University provided these courses meet the basic objectives of the Dept. of EMT Graduate Program and are approved for transfer by the research (thesis) advisor, Dept. Head, and the Graduate School.

Generally, a successful applicant must have a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of at least 3.25 (on a scale of 4) and a combined GRE aptitude score (Verbal and Quantitative) of 1100 or more, or will present comparable evidence indicative of probable success in graduate school. Foreign applicants must score 550 or better on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
