Applications must be submitted to the University of Minnesota Graduate School through the Slate online system. Please see the Application Checklist for a complete list of required materials.
If you are also interested in applying to MCDB&G, you will need to apply to each program (MCDB&G and BMBB) independently. Applications for each program are evaluated separately by different admissions committees. If you do apply to both, please indicate that in your personal statement. Please also explicitly mention labs from each program that you are interested in and also why each program interests you.
Reminders:
- Upload all materials, including transcripts, to the Slate online application.
- Do not submit your application until all materials aside from letters of recommendation are uploaded.
- Do submit your application even if all of your letters of recommendations have not been submitted.
- Encourage all your referees to submit their letters online and before the December 6th recommendation deadline.
- Check your email frequently for messages from our program. If you are missing materials or if there are any problems with your application, we will contact you only by email.
- If you have one or more publications, please submit only their abstracts and not the complete manuscripts.
