NGP Admissions

Applicants must have the equivalent of a Bachelors Degree in a biological science, neuroscience, chemistry, physics, engineering, psychology, mathematics, communication sciences or computer science. We recommend that students have taken and received better than average grades in calculus, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biopsychology, neuroscience or biology. Research experience will not be necessary, but will be favorably considered.

GRE General Test scores are required, and scores on the Subject Test in Biology, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, or Psychology are highly recommended. The GRE Institution Code for UVM is 3920 (note that there is no additional code for our program). Applicants whose native language is not English must submit scores from Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Applicants must submit three letters of reference. We prefer letters from individuals who know you well and who can attest to your abilities to work independently in an academic setting. Letters from research advisors or supervisors are highly desirable.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: December 1, 2013.

If you cannot make this deadline, please contact the Neuroscience Graduate Program Assistant, Carrie Perkins and we may be able to give you an extension.  In your email please explain why you cannot meet the deadline, and when we would expect to receive your completed application.
