Further Conditional Graduate Admission Information



(To compute the total GRE score, email Barbara White at whiteb@purdue.edu for instructions.)

Students accepted conditionally will be required to take at least two courses (6 credits) from the following list:

  BCHM 56100, General Biochemistry I, 3 credits
  BCHM 56200, General Biochemistry II, 3 credits
  BIOL 51700, Molecular Biology: Proteins, 2 credits
  BIOL 51900, Molecular Biology: Nucleic Acids, 2 credits
  BIOL 53700, Immunobiology, 3 credits
  BIOL 57300, Molecular Biology of Animal Cells, 3 credits
  STAT 50300, Statistical Methods for Biology, 3 credits
  STAT 51400, Design of Experiments, 3 credits

They may substitute other courses recommended by their faculty mentor(s) from the Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, and Epidemiology and Public Health sections, and approved by the Graduate Studies Committee.

Students conditionally admitted will have to take a minimum of six credits in addition to research credits in each semester of the first year in the graduate program. They must receive a "B" or better for the two required courses and must maintain an overall "B" average for all courses taken. The purpose of this action is to make sure that students with conditional admission can perform and succeed in the Comparative Pathobiology graduate program to which they have been admitted.

If a student fails to receive a "B" or better for the two required courses or fails to maintain an overall "B" average for all courses taken, it will result in the dismissal of the student from the program.
