1. The program primarily enrolls individuals with backgrounds in biomedical sciences or related fields who have completed a bachelor's degree at an accredited institution. For students entering without a degree in a related area, the faculty determines deficiencies to be overcome prior to admission. Applications will not be reviewed until all required materials are obtained by the program. All completed applications received prior to Feb. 1 will receive consideration for enrollment beginning the following summer term for the Non-Thesis Track or fall semester for the Thesis Track. Completed applications received after Feb. 1 may be considered if space is available in the program. Students may enroll on a full-time or a part-time basis.

2. Applicants may be admitted to regular status if their grade point average is the equivalent of 2.75 or above (scale of 4.0). Averages below 2.75 may be considered for admission on a probationary basis, in which case particular attention is given to the last 60 hours completed in the undergraduate program, with special emphasis on performance in biomedical science-related courses. Probationary status is removed after successful completion of the first eight graduate credits with a grade point average of 3.0 or above.

3. Graduate Record Examination scores on the General Test are required.

4. Three letters of reference, preferably from academic and/or research sources or supervisors, must be provided.

5. The applicant must provide a statement of not more than 1,000 words providing career objectives and reasons for seeking a degree in the UWM Biomedical Sciences Graduate program.

6. Students must identify, at the time of applying, whether they seek enrollment in the Thesis Track or Non-Thesis Track. Students wishing to change tracks after admission must receive approval of the program.
