PhD Biomedical Sciences at West Virginia University

Entry requirements

All applications are accepted electronically and must be submitted electronically via the official WVU Graduate Education application: https://graduateadmissions.wvu.edu/ Applications are reviewed beginning in November by a common admissions committee comprised of the graduate directors or faculty representatives of our eight Ph.D. graduate training programs and one or more senior graduate students. The Assistant Vice President for Graduate Education is an ex officio member. The deadline for receipt of applications is December 1st for admission in the Fall semester of the next academic year. Students are not admitted for the spring semester. All students interested in one of the 8 Biomedical Ph.D. programs must apply through a common admissions portal. Choice of a specific graduate program occurs during the first year of graduate study after selection of an adviser for your dissertation research and choosing one of the degree granting programs. Applications include a Personal Statement, resume/CV, unofficial transcripts from all Colleges or Universities attended, and three letters of recommendation. If admitted, applicants must arrange to have official copies of transcripts sent directly to the WVU Office of Graduate Admissions and Recruitment, PO Box 6510, Morgantown, WV 26506-6510. For maximum admissions consideration, we encourage applicants to apply as early as possible. To review the programs and application process, please visit:...
