Overview

The Biochemistry program from by Kansas State University requires at least three years of two semesters each of graduate study (equivalent to 90 semester hours) beyond the bachelor’s degree and a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Approximately 30 to 40 hours of course work are required for the Ph.D. in addition to research for a satisfactory dissertation.

In addition to the required biochemistry courses, 10 credit hours of biology courses are required, and advanced chemistry or physics courses are encouraged. Two credits must be obtained in the Graduate Biochemistry Seminar (BIOCH 806).

Admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. requires satisfactory performance in the two core biochemistry courses, and defense of a research proposal on a topic selected by the student in consultation with their supervisory committee. This defense serves as the preliminary examination for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D.

Other requirements

General requirements

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, appropriate and adequate course work, and an average of B or better in the junior and senior years or an excellent postgraduate record at another institution. Provisional admission may occur when there are limited deficiencies in undergraduate course work that can be removed by course work taken at Kansas State University or when there is uncertainty in evaluation of transcripts, as may occur in the case of international students. In the latter case, removal of the provisional status occurs upon the accumulation of 9 hours of course work with a B or better average.
