Prospective students can apply to the CBN graduate program directly or through the Molecular Biosciences Program (MBS) at MSU.
Direct Application to CBN
Application to the program occurs in a three-phase process:
Phase 1: Pre-application to the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience (CBN)
Phase 2: Application to The Graduate School at Montana State University
Phase 3: Review by the faculty of CBN
Detailed Instructions
Phase 1: Complete a Preliminary Application Form (Word Doc or PDF) and return this electronic form to cbn@cns.montana.edu. Specify "Preliminary application of [your full name]" in the subject line of the e-mail. The graduate program director will review your preliminary application within two weeks and either invite or decline submission of a full application.
Phase 2: If you are invited to apply to The Graduate School at MSU, specific instructions will be provided at that point. You will be required to pay a $50 processing fee and have official GRE scores, professional letters of reference, undergraduate transcripts, and a statement of research and education interests specific to CBN programs sent to MSU.
Phase 3: CBN faculty will review the application and make recommendations regarding admission to the Graduate Committee and CBN Department Head.
Deadlines
Preliminary applications are accepted year-round.
Full applications may be submitted to The Graduate School at any time once the preliminary application process is completed and the applicant is invited to apply to the program. Preference will be given to students who apply for admission in the spring prior to the fall semester requested for admission.
Application to MBS
The CBN faculty affiliated with the Molecular Biosciences Program are Drs. Roger Bradley, Alex Dimitrov, Charles Gray, Gwen Jacobs, Frances Lefcort, Thomas Hughes, Christa Merzdorf and Linda Hyman. Students interested in working with any of these faculty to pursue a Ph.D. in CBN can apply to the Molecular Biosciences Program at http://mbprogram.montana.edu (or contact the MBP Director, Stephanie Cunningham, via email at mbprogram@montana.edu for additional information). The application deadline is January 20th of each year.
