Application Process and Deadlines

To be considered for admission to the PGCert in Precision Medicine Program, applicants must submit their applications online through the Midwestern University direct application process.

The PGCert in Precision Medicine program uses a rolling admission process in which completed applications are reviewed and decisions are made at regular intervals during the admissions cycle. The Program begins in the summer quarter. Admission to the Program is considered on a competitive basis for applicants submitting completed applications. Multiple criteria are used to select the most qualified candidates, including selection of those students the Admissions Committee determines would benefit the most from the Program based on their planned programs of study and/or professional goals.

Due to the nature of the Precision Medicine curriculum, students with prior graduate or undergraduate courses in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Genetics, and Genomics will receive preference for admission to the Program.

Selection decisions for the Program are determined by the CGS Precision Medicine Admissions Committee, which is comprised of faculty members and the Precision Medicine Program Director, with the approval of the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies. To maximize their competitiveness within this rolling admission process, candidates are advised to submit their completed applications early in the admission cycle. The deadline for dual track applications is April 1 or the first business day thereafter. The deadline for stand-alone applicants is April 15 or the first business day thereafter.
