Bachelor of Arts in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry / Master of Science in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry

The Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry Graduate Program (MCBGP) offers a five year combined bachelors/masters degree program leading to either a Master of Arts (MA) or a Master of Science (MS) degree in Biology. The program is designed to develop expertise in key areas of modern biological science, notably Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Developmental Biology. Students will gain advanced knowledge of biological systems, training in reading and analyzing the primary research literature, and practice in communicating scientific concepts and data to a gerneral audience. MS students will also participate in research and present their findings, gaining critical laboratory and computational skills. Knowledge and skills gained in the program can be applied to many future goals including medical school, PhD programs, MD/PhD programs, the biotechnology industry, teaching, and intellectual property law.

International applicants, like all applicants to Brown, are expected to complete secondary school. Brown's first-year students will have completed 12 to 13 years of primary and secondary schooling. Similar to applications from students within the United States, we evaluate applications from students outside the United States with their context and opportunities in mind.
English language proficiency must be achieved before you are admitted. Brown does not offer courses in English as a Second Language for its undergraduates and does not offer provisional acceptances to students who are deficient in English.
