Application review and interviews

After review by the Admissions Committee the applicants under consideration will deliver a brief scientific presentation to faculty members virtually and are invited to visit the Graduate School in-person to participate in a thorough interview process in February or March, meeting individually with faculty members, touring the Stowers Institute, and meeting with predoctoral researchers.

Diversity and Inclusion

The Graduate School of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all. We continually strive to create a culture where predoctoral researchers, research scholars, and summer scholars have equal access and equal opportunity regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender or LGBTQ+ identity. Inside and outside our walls, the Graduate School stands opposed to all forms of discrimination and racial injustice. We acknowledge that the roots of systemic racism throughout society are deep and tangled, and that bias and discrimination still exist within a scientific research community where not all scholars have equal access or recognition. While opposing blatant injustice in the world around us, we remain steadfastly committed to equality within our own program and to the long-term goal of dismantling all forms of discrimination in science.

The Graduate School is committed to providing equal opportunities for all persons and does not discriminate or retaliate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, disability, military status, marital status, or any other status protected by law (“protected status”). This Policy extends to admissions, employment (as set forth in the Equal Employment Policy), housing, services, and in the other educational programs and activities that the School operates (collectively “programs and activities”). Harassment, whether verbal, non‑verbal, or physical, that is based on any protected status constitutes a form of discrimination if it denies or limits a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from the School’s programs and activities. This Policy covers employees, program participants, applicants for employment or admission, contractors, vendors, visitors, guests, and participants in School sponsored programs and activities (collectively, the “School Community”). (Nondiscrimination Policy 943, 2020)

• The prospective student is currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a baccalaureate degree program (or higher) at an accredited U.S. college or university OR international (non-U.S.) college or university with instruction conducted primarily in English, and as a result, cannot submit an official final transcript prior to Van Andel Institute Graduate School admission. *Please note that an official final transcript will still be required for enrollment purposes prior to matriculation; the waiver is only for purposes of proving English proficiency prior to issuance of Form I-20 or DS-2019.
• Waivers are not automatic. To be eligible for a waiver, the student must request the waiver and demonstrate suitable English proficiency during their Van Andel Institute Graduate School admissions interview to successfully complete the academic program and function safely on a day-to-day basis in the United States.

Do transcripts from institutions outside the US need to be evaluated by a transcript evaluation service?

All transcripts from academic institutions outside of the United States must be accompanied by an official course-by-course evaluation, including U.S. GPA conversion from  World Education Services  (WES),  International Credential Evaluators , or another agency approved by the  National Association of Credential Evaluation Services . Transcript evaluations will be at the applicant’s own expense. The original document that was evaluated and an English translation (if applicable) must be included with the evaluation.

• If you cannot provide an official transcript evaluation when you submit your application, you must submit the documents outlined below so the Admissions Committee can conduct a preliminary review. Please note, it is still best to submit the official course-by-course transcript evaluation when you apply if you are able.
• Unofficial college transcripts (must be in English)
• U.S. GPA equivalent (4.0 scale) — You may use a free online resource such as  WES ; this must be your cumulative undergraduate GPA.
• An official offer of admission cannot be made until the official evaluation is received and reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The evaluation may be submitted after an applicant is interviewed, if necessary.

Students can take just one course at a time, enroll in a graduate certificate of their choice, or stack multiple certificates in to a customized master’s degree.

Doctoral Program in Chemical and Biological Sciences

Scripps Research's doctoral program is an interdisciplinary graduate program that provides rigorous training in chemistry, chemical biology, biology, neurosciences, immunology, cell biology, chemical physiology, and biophysics. When students enroll in the program, they do not join a department, but rather pursue their graduate studies with access to the entire curriculum and faculty affiliated with the school regardless of the faculty member’s department. This approach allows students to be broadly trained and emphasizes the creation of basic knowledge in the biosciences.

MISSION The central mission of Scripps Research's graduate program is to train the next generation of scientists at the interface of biological and chemical sciences for productive careers in the global economy.

NEW! On Friday, October 13 we hosted a live chat with our faculty, admissions committee staff, and current graduate students, during our annual Graduate Program Virtual Open House! Watch the videos from this event HERE.

TWO LOCATIONS, ONE PROGRAM Students may study, conduct research, and attend research seminars and professional development workshops in either one of two beautiful settings: La Jolla, California and Jupiter, Florida . The latest broadcasting technologies and pedagogical tools are employed to ensure connectivity, communication, and interaction between students and faculty in both locations.

INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH A key feature of Scripps Research's graduate program is the ability for students to completely customize their experience across conventional boundaries. New students can customize their curriculum to consist of diverse courses aligned with their research interests, while also selecting  lab rotations that impart laboratory experience in more than one research area. Students can also customize the focus of their thesis research to gain exposure to any discipline of their choosing.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Scripps Research's doctoral program achieves its mission through the following program learning outcomes (PLOs):

Original research is central to the doctoral experience. Through faculty mentoring and laboratory activities, students develop the skills critical for high-level research output. Graduate students are expected to use analytical skills to assess and categorize existing bodies of knowledge and integrate innovative research initiatives both within and across disciplines. They are then able to build arguments or interpretations of their experimental results that are logical and well evidenced in pursuit of creating new knowledge. This endeavor involves a great deal of cooperation and collaboration among lab members or with different labs.  Students are required to be trained on the ethical norms of research such as mutual respect, trust, confidentiality, rigor, and accountability. Further, students are expected to be knowledgeable about ethics and practical requirements for data and resource sharing, and for the use of human subjects and animals in their research. Publications in peer-reviewed journals and other recognition from the scientific community are signals of quality intellectual output.

Program Learning Outcome (PLO) Success Indicators

• Integrate knowledge of specific research area into scientific approaches
• Design testable hypotheses that are creative and insightful to the research area
• Evaluate rigorous approaches to investigate the hypotheses
• Demonstrate mastery of scientific tools and techniques, including laboratory-based and computer-based techniques, to address scientific questions
• Analyze and interpret experimental data to obtain reproducible and statistically significant results that can be used support scientific insights
• Demonstrate the practices and expected behaviors of an ethical scientist
• Be a steward of science

In any scientific or professional environment, the ability to successfully engage with peer and lay audiences is critical. Scripps Research students are able to effectively communicate the impact of a study or a body of work to the greater scientific community and to the public at large.

During their training at Scripps Research, graduate students are expected to publish and communicate the impact of their research through scientific journals as well as poster and oral presentation. They demonstrate the oral, written, and media communication skills required to be effective mentors, future scientific leaders, and scientifically literate citizens.  Students build these skills through writing and reviewing scientific manuscripts, collaborating with other scientists, attending courses and workshops, and taking advantage of scientific symposia and professional development opportunities. 

• Collaborate collegially with others and demonstrate effective teamwork in-person and virtually
• Cogently summarize research, its significance, and context for non-specialist audiences
• Give affirming and critical feedback to others and respond constructively to feedback from others
• Prepare and deliver in-person and online presentations, suitable for either specialist or non-specialist audiences, that demonstrate an understanding of effective messaging and slide design
• Prepare well-written manuscripts that meet the standards of reputable journals and respond appropriately and effectively to recommendations for revision
• Select and participate in appropriate scholarly meetings to present research findings
• Critically evaluate original research results, articulate possible “next experiments,” and write compelling synopses describing their research
• Identify appropriate fellowship or grant opportunities and prepare competitive proposals

An important skill for success in biomedical research doctoral programs is thinking critically about problems, claims, justifications, decisions, and data made by other scientists. Effective critical thinkers use a self-directed process to analyze problems or information and form opinions or judgments about whether claims are plausible and grounded in sound scientific reasoning. Graduate students are expected to rely on information literacy to improve the quality of their scientific thoughts, evaluate justifications, navigate challenges, and make informed opinions about the work. Scripps Research graduate students learn to ask important questions that guide their behavior and the way that data and information are analyzed and interpreted. Strong critical thinking skills encourage curiosity, improve reasoning, enhance creativity, reinforce problem-solving ability, and foster independence. The institute provides opportunities to engage in discussion, debate, case studies, journal clubs, and presentations where these skills can be honed and refined.

• Identify and explain issues or problems clearly
• Recognize the importance of context on the problem
• Consider relevant perspectives and positions that differ from their own
• Apply statistical rigor to raise questions about the validity of results
• Clearly identify assumptions behind the conclusions that are made
• Select and structure the evidence needed to support an argument, point of view, or conclusion
• Evaluate conclusions, implications, and consequences

At the core of pursuing a doctoral degree is the drive to explore the unknown in order to initiate new paths, new ways of thinking and to bring innovation to enlighten a field of study. Intellectual curiosity is at the heart of a relentless pursuit to always be learning and innovating. Scripps Research graduate students are expected to acquire the capacity to build their intellectual curiosity and demonstrate problem solving approaches that serve their professional growth and ability to impact a field, during graduate school and beyond through lifelong learning.

To assist students in the development of intellectual curiosity, the institute provides a world class research and learning environment that champions multi-disciplinary collaboration, cutting edge technologies and instrumentation, stimulating scientific seminars, symposia and lectures and outstanding faculty mentors.

• Demonstrate self-motivation in identifying problems, pathways, and actionable steps that lead to insight
• Articulate scientific ideas that reflect a relentless ability to uncover the unknown
• Engage in mastering new techniques, applications and applying research methods that stretch scientific pursuit
• Demonstrate an ability to bridge multi-disciplinary scientific concepts and integrate disparate ideas and research areas that advance forward-thinking ideas
• Articulate originality in thought and presentations
• Dissect concepts to reveal flaws and construct new ideas that bring insight
• Demonstrate contributions to science that impact new discovery
• Persevere on difficult tasks by demonstrating persistence and employing rigorous approaches that reassess, adapt, pivot, and reconceptualize to discover and innovate
• Demonstrate depth of thought, reflection, and ability to gather new input and considerations to generate new ideas

Scripps Research promotes a culture of informed, proactive and strategic career planning .  Students seek information about potential career paths afforded to them by a Ph.D. degree, talk to employers and mentors in areas of interest, and become aware of the preparation and initiative required to pursue these paths. Students collaborate with their faculty advisor to prepare an Individual Development Plan (IDP) to map their educational goals, career exploration, and professional development.

Scripps Research students develop a variety of transferable skillsets throughout their graduate experience, including management and leadership, resilience, scientific rigor, collaboration, time management, teamwork, networking, and career planning. To assist students in successfully preparing for a variety of possible careers, the institute offers career and professional development workshops, course offerings, career advising, and experiential learning opportunities.

• Demonstrate the oral, written and media communication skills required to be effective scientists, communicators, mentors, teachers, scientifically literate citizens, and stewards of science.
• Develop professional competencies, such as interpersonal communication, budgeting, project management, mentoring, teaching, and workplace ethics skills that are needed to plan and implement research projects
• Work collaboratively in team settings involving colleagues with expertise in other disciplines and from diverse cultural and disciplinary backgrounds
• Prepare and revisit an Individual Development Plan (IDP) to optimize and integrate research progress with broader professional development plans
• Identify Ph.D.-level career paths that complement professional interests, skills, and values
• Critically evaluate transferable skills and articulate ways in which these skills can be developed
• Enhance professional identity by participating in appropriate professional organizations, conferences, and scientific meetings, demonstrating professional conduct and communication

RIT and UR partner to create accelerated graduate degree pathways for education and counseling students

Boris Sapozhnikov

Eligible students can begin their journey in these new accelerated degree pathways starting fall 2024.

Rochester Institute of Technology’s College of Liberal Arts and University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education have established new 3+2 and 4+1 admissions agreements , providing RIT undergraduate students with expedited pathways to launch their careers in teaching, higher education, or counseling. These agreements streamline the process for eligible students to earn both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees within a five-year timeframe.

In the 3+2 program, RIT students admitted and enrolled through this pathway will complete all required coursework for undergraduate majors in three years. This paves the way for a smooth transition to the Warner School’s mental health counseling and school counseling master’s programs. The first year at the Warner School concurrently fulfills the final year of their bachelor’s degree.

Similarly, the 4+1 program offers RIT undergraduate students the opportunity to finish all coursework for their undergraduate major within four years as planned. However, students in qualifying bachelor’s degree programs at RIT can also begin graduate-level coursework in their fourth year, earning six credits toward their master’s degree in either higher education or a teacher preparation program at the Warner School.

“This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to enrich the student experience at RIT,” said John Smithgall , assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts. “These programs play a crucial role in expanding students’ perspectives about what they can achieve in terms of their educational and career aspirations. This is particularly significant in dismantling barriers and stereotypes about certain professions, empowering students to pursue their passions and make significant contributions to their chosen fields.”

Under the terms of the agreement, RIT students who meet the Warner School’s admissions requirements and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 in their third year for the 3+2 program and fourth year for the 4+1 program can obtain both degrees in five years. Moreover, students will benefit from tuition scholarships toward their qualifying graduate degree programs at the Warner School.

“We are thrilled to partner with RIT in offering these innovative admissions pathways,” says Sarah Peyre, dean of the Warner School. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing students with accessible and accelerated pathways to pursue their passions for teaching, higher education, and counseling. By combining our expertise and resources, we aim to empower students to excel in their academic journey and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

RIT’s College of Liberal Arts Interim Dean Kelly Norris Martin adds, “We have an incredibly diverse community of students in the College of Liberal Arts who all have unique visions for their futures. Through this new partnership, we’re able to expand the opportunities available to our students so they can follow their passions. Additionally, these new educational pathways can better prepare our students to fill the increased need for teachers and counselors in our communities.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for counselors and teachers are expected to increase through 2031. Whether individuals aspire to work in a K-12 school or clinical setting, or at the higher education level, RIT can provide students with a head start in becoming specialized educators or counselors. RIT’s culture of innovation and forward-thinking use of technology equips students to be adept at navigating and applying technological learning resources and tools to help their future students and clients excel.

From regional K-12 schools to top higher education and healthcare institutions, the Warner School’s graduate programs further prepare students to apply their comprehensive insights in classrooms, clinics, postsecondary institutions and communities worldwide to lead change for all. For more than 65 years, the Warner School has advanced the fields of education and counseling through innovative theories, experiences and leadership.

For more information about the accelerated pathways to careers in teaching, counseling and higher education, go to the Warner School’s partnerships program page or RIT’s College of Liberal Arts website.
