General requirements
- The IBS admissions committee seeks students with broad interests in research to apply for graduate study in the biomedical sciences. Please review our PhD Programs Overview video (slides here) as a helpful starting point. The IBS admits students once per year for the following Fall semester (applications open Sept 1 - Dec 1). Our programs require full-time, year-round, on-campus enrollment at our location in Washington, DC (part-time and online programs are not available).
- Our PhD programs use the George Washington Columbian College of Arts and Sciences graduate application. All application materials must be sent to the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. Please do not send application materials directly to the IBS Office; this will delay review of your application.
- You will be asked to apply through an online student portal. Please review our Application Tips before you begin your submission.
