INTERDISCIPLINARY OPTIONS
- NEUROSCIENCE
- QUANTITATIVE AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY
- BIOLOGY@PRINCETON
Admission & Financial Support
The Department of Molecular Biology reviews applications each year for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology. We encourage applications from students of diverse academic backgrounds.
A complete application includes:
- A completed web-based application.
- Transcript – scanned version obtained from your college or university.
- Official GRE exam scores from ETS. While the GRE General Test is required of all applicants, a Subject

received their undergraduate education in a U.S. college or university. For TOEFL scores, use Institution
Code 2672. - Three (03) letters of recommendation.
Applying
Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, QCB (Quantitative & Computational Biology), and EEB (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) offer a joint admissions process called Biology@Princeton. This website provides information on how to apply to multiple programs. If you are applying only to Molecular Biology, you can instead proceed directly to Graduate Admission.
