国际学生入学条件
Provide the names and contact information for three references. We realize that in writing recommendation letters, recommenders often write a generic letter for most programs. If their letter does not already do so, the Department of Biology would like for them to address in a paragraph their thoughts about the potential for the applicant to be a future scientist. In particular, we value their evaluation of the future ability of the applicant to ask strong biological questions, design critical experiments, collect and analyze data, and draw biological conclusions from the data. Do you think that the applicant will be resilient when research difficulties arise? How do you think that the applicant will work as a member of a diverse team to help solve problems? A letter with superlatives is less helpful than a letter that provides facts about the applicant's academic and research experiences.
Upload a resume or curriculum vitae.
Upload a list of the Graduate Faculty with whom you are interested in working.
Upload an official copy of transcripts (university records) from each institution of higher education attended as an undergraduate or graduate student. International transcripts must be submitted in both the original language and in English. Examples of documents that are not acceptable are: advising transcripts or a degree audit from a self-service website.
The Department of Biology no longer evaluates GRE scores for admission to our graduate program.
International applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section for the Internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisaaional admission, enrollment, and, if necessary, remedial course work. The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5. Revised TOEFL PBT July 2017 and later 60

Penn State has a strong reputation in the field of evolutionary genetics through the Institute of Molecular Evolutionary Genetics, many members of which belong to the Department of Biology. The Molecular Evolutionary Biology option is concerned with the study of evolution at the molecular level to understand the mechanisms of evolutionary change and to clarify the evolutionary history of organisms. It is a multidisciplinary course of study that integrates molecular biology, developmental biology, and population biology. Requirements for the Graduate Degree in Biology with a Molecular Evolutionary Biology Option include: The student must meet the criteria for the M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Biology. The student's research adviser must be a member of the Biology program and/or a full member of the Institute of Molecular Evolutionary Genetics (IMEG). Other committee members may be chosen as needed providing that a majority of the committee is associated with the IMEG.
