[bioundgrd] MIT Biology Graduate Program

[Stephen P. Bell]

Dear Students,

We are writing to let you know about a change in the Biology 
Department's policy toward accepting MIT Biology undergraduate majors 
into our Graduate program.  Although in the past we have not accepted 
application from students that majored Biology, we have reconsidered 
this policy and will now consider such applications.  Although in 
most instances it is preferable for students to pursue graduate 
studies at another institution, we feel that there are circumstances 
in which this is not the case.  We recommend that you discuss this 
option with your advisor prior to applying. 

There is one important restriction that will be applied to students 
who have majored in Biology here at MIT.  If accepted, students that 
have had a UROP experience in a Biology Department lab will not be 
able to pursue graduate studies in the same lab.  This is to ensure 
that the Graduate experience is a broadening one for each student who 
enters the program. 



Sincerely,

Steve Bell
for the Biology Dept. Graduate Committee
