Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine offers programs leading to a PhD or an MA in Physiology or Biophysics. Each program stresses laboratory training and original research performed under the direction of a faculty member, as well as satisfactory performance in graduate coursework.
Faculty: Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine (Graduate Medical Sciences) | Duration: 24 units required | Study mode: full-time | Location: Boston, MA, United States
Incoming PhD and MA students are required to take either five or three modules, respectively, from the Foundations in Biomedical Sciences curriculum, including Protein Structure, Cell Dynamics, Genetics and Genomics, Mechanisms of Cell Communication, and Cellular Physiology (GMS FC 701, 702, 703, 704, and 707 for PhD; FC 701, 703, and 704 for MA).
Recruitment directly into the Program in Biomedical Sciences is the route of entry for PhD students, and MA candidates apply directly to our programs in Physiology or in Biophysics. There is no strict formula for acceptance to the programs, and many factors go into the Admissions Committee's decisions. The programs seek students from a wide range of backgrounds including physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and medical sciences.
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences PhD and MFA applicants can only apply for the fall semester.
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences PhD Fall 2027 application deadlines fall between December 1 and January 15 depending on the programme (for example Biostatistics and Computer Science December 1; Biology and Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry December 2; Chemistry, Physics, Economics, History, Linguistics and Political Science December 15; English and Mathematics January 11; Classical Studies, Philosophy, Earth & Environment and History of Art & Architecture January 15).
