Applicants for graduate study are expected to have a background equivalent to that required of undergraduate majors in this department. This includes a knowledge of the basic principles of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and physiology. Requirements for admission are
- One year of general biology or the equivalent.
- A minimum of 8 hours of approved biology courses beyond the introductory level and including the subject areas of genetics, cell biology and physiology.
- Two years of chemistry including one year of general chemistry and one year of introductory organic chemistry with laboratory.
- At least one semester of biochemistry.
- One year of calculus.
- One year of physics.
- Graduate Record Examination scores.
- A minimum grade point average of 3.0 out of 4.0.
Otherwise superior students, deficient in one or more of the above requirements, may be admitted at the discretion of the department’s Graduate Admissions Committee.
The Department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology participates in the interdisciplinary graduate minor in computational science (IGMCS) program. Any student pursuing a masters or PhD with a major in biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology can receive a minor in computational science by completing the appropriate IGMCS requirements. For additional information, see the description of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Minor in Computational Science listed under Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science or visit the IGMCS website at http://igmcs.utk.edu/. The Department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology also contributes courses to the IGMCS program curriculum.
