Program Overview
The objective of our Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in Biochemistry is to provide students both a theoretical and practical knowledge of fundamental biochemical concepts while preparing students for careers in research (academic or industrial) or increasing their competitiveness for additional graduate degrees.
Our AMP in Biochemistry is only available to UVM students who have:
- A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2
- Satisfactory completion of BIOC 3005 & BIOC 3006 before acceptance into the program
- Completion of the Graduate College Application form
- Agreement of a UVM Biochemistry faculty member to serve as AMP advisor (this faculty member should also write one of the three recommendation letters in support of the student's application to the Graduate College).
- A minimum of 30 credits and successful completion of a comprehensive exam are required for completion of the accelerated master’s degree in biochemistry. It is anticipated that students can complete the degree over two semesters (one year). Students must meet all of the requirements stipulated by the UVM Graduate College for the Master's Degree.
It is anticipated that students will apply for acceptance into the program in the Spring of their Junior year or Fall of their Senior year. Application instructions can be found here.
