Admission to the Department of Genetics graduate program is through an interest-based track, usually
the Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics & Development Track (MCGD) in the Combined Program in the Biological and
Biomedical Sciences (BBS).
Appropriate preparation for graduate study in Genetics includes a bachelor’s degree in the natural sciences
including course work in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Almost all successful applicants have undergraduate
or postgraduate research experience and have completed courses in genetics, biochemistry, or molecular and cell
biology. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required and the submission of a score on the Subject Test in cell &
molecular biology, biochemistry or chemistry is recommended.

Approximately 25 new students enter the Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics and
Development Track (MCGD) Track each year. Admission is competitive and is based on evaluation
by an admissions committee of academic performance, potential, and letters of recommendation.
The top applicants are invited to New Haven at the program's expense for a day of introduction
and interviews to assist in the admissions decision.
