Program Description
Graduate
programs in Microbiology, Cell and Molecular Biology leading to
the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are supported by the research faculty
in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics and adjunct
faculty in other departments. Graduate studies for a Ph.D. degree
require 90 credit hours for students entering with a bachelors degree.
Only 60 credit hours are required for the Ph.D. degree for students
entering with a M.S. degree. Graduate studies for a M.S. degree
require 30 credit hours. Graduate students can specialize in a wide
variety of research disciplines including - Molecular Biology, Molecular
Genetics, Microbiology, Immunology, Mycology, Physiology, Virology,
Biophysics, Toxicology, Bioinformatics, Environmental Microbiology,
Developmental Biology, Genomics, Bioremediation, Environmental Sciences,
Biotechnology.
Admission Requirements
Completed
applications from prospective graduate students, should contain
transcripts, GRE general test scores (GRE code 0212), three letters of recommendation,
and a statement of interest. The application deadline is February 15 of each year and admission is for the
Fall semester only. Application requests can be made to
the Graduate Coordinator or online http://microbiology.okstate.edu
Financial Aid
Financial support resources for students includes teaching assistantships, research assistantships, health insurance and various tuition waivers.
