How to Apply

Academic Requirements

The MCP program will consider students with a bachelor's degree or higher in a science field, and a cumulative GPA above 3.0. International students must demonstrate proficiency by submitting a TOEFL exam score unless their degree is from an institute where the primary language of instruction is English. We do not require a GRE score. A primary criterion for admission is the quantity and quality of the applicant's basic research experience. The personal statement should include a description of the applicant's research experience.

Application Procedure

Applications to the Ph.D. program must be submitted online. Follow the instructions at the WSU Graduate Application website. The following documents are submitted by uploading directly to the application website.

• A personal statement describing your reasons for pursuing a PhD, research experience and interests, and long-term career goals.
• Three letters of recommendation
• Original transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
• TOEFL if required (Institutional code: R1898. Departmental code: 0215 Pathology)

Financial Aid

All PhD students are provided with a Graduate Research Assistantship, which provides tuition, an annual stipend, and health insurance. No separate application is needed for financial aid.
