M.S. in Biological and Physical Sciences

Description: 
The M.S. degree is an interdepartmental degree available to students in the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. programs.  Usually students are eligible to receive the degree upon completion of the advancement to candidacy for the Ph.D.  
Program requirements are described at:
M.S. in Biological and Physical Sciences Program Guidelines

Upon completion of the requirements, students should complete the Masters degree application form found under “forms” at:

Since the M.S. degree is interdepartmental and not administered by any single program, the degree form requires the signature of the Assistant Dean for Graduate Research and Training on the line for “departmental chair”.  This signature may be acquired by bringing the GSAS degree to the Graduate Programs Office (Jordan Hall 1102).  Inquires may be addressed to medgpo@virginia.edu
