Requirements for application:
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent with at least a B average in academic work is required for admission.
- The most appropriate preparation is an undergraduate concentration in biology (molecular and cellular biology or physiology), chemistry (organic, analytical, or physical chemistry), biochemistry, or environmental sciences.
- Applicants are also expected to have preparation in calculus and physics. Selection is made on the basis of previous academic work, letters of recommendation, and scores on the GRE General Test. Subject test scores in biology and/or chemistry are recommended. TOEFL scores are required of students from countries in which English is not the native language.
Membership to Professional Societies
All students are required to apply for membership as soon as they begin their studies in the following toxicology societies:
- Society of Toxicology
- Mid-Atlantic Society of Toxicology (the local chapter of SOT)
- The American College of Toxicology.
Attending the meetings is an important part of the program curriculum, plus students have numerous opportunities to present their research to and interact with government and industry professionals as well as toxicology professors and graduate students from other programs.
