1. Personal, Demographics & Family

This information is automatically filled from your main account profile. You may update these details on the application itself, but changes made inside an application will not update your main account profile. Please ensure your BioRaider account profile is also kept up to date.

2. Plans

Select your application type, student type, concentration (if applicable), and anticipated course load. Ph.D. applicants must also detail their research experience in this section.

Note: Applicants interested in the Biomedical Sciences M.S. program should apply through the Biotechnology M.S. track.

3. Activities

All applicants (with the exception of Ph.D. applicants) must describe previous laboratory, research, teaching, and related experience. Text inside the BioRaider system is limited to 2,000 characters including spaces.

Graduate Medical Education Sciences M.S., Biotechnology M.S., MPH, and Public Health Certificate applicants should enter paid employment and internships completed within the past 3 years. Ph.D. and Pharmaceutical Sciences M.S. applicants do not have this section on the application and must instead upload a Resume/CV as a required supplemental item.

4. Academics

Please list every college or university attended or currently attending, including institutions where transfer credits were applied toward an undergraduate degree.

• Search Tips: Do not enter a city name when searching for your school. Select Country and State, then click search. Select your school from the drop-down results.
• Unlisted Schools: If your school does not appear, select "The organization is not listed" and check the box next to Unlisted School to enter your institution manually.
• International Institutions: Most international schools will not appear in the standard search. Try searching by country alone first; if it does not appear, enter it manually as an Unlisted School.
• Honors & Achievements: List academic distinctions or honors received during undergraduate study and beyond (e.g., McNair Scholar, Cum Laude Society). Select Add Honor for each entry, specifying the grade level and recognition type.

5. Writing & Signature

Avoid using special symbols, Greek letters, superscripts, or subscripts in text boxes. Copying text directly from Microsoft Word can introduce hidden formatting code; we recommend pasting text from a plain text editor.
