-
Additional coursework in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and physiology is encouraged.
-
Applicants for the Biochemistry Program are expected to have one year of physical chemistry.
-
Applicants for the Biomedical Engineering Program are encouraged to have courses in quantitative science and engineering (e.g., signal processing, computer science, instrumentation).
-
If any of the required coursework is missing or incomplete (e.g., one year each of biology, chemistry, physics and calculus for all applicants, or one year of physical chemistry for Biochemistry applicants), the applicant must address the deficits before entering Mayo Graduate School.
Please note that undergraduate courses are not available at Mayo Graduate School.
