Introductory biology and chemistry lecture courses for which credit has been granted via AP, IB, or College Articulation agreements in high school are waived.
- M.S. in Environmental Biology applicants also must meet the physical requirements of being able to hike for an hour outdoors and being able to spend full days outdoors for field work for the program (not required for the M.S. in Biomedical Sciences).
- Obtain a positive recommendation from the Guaranteed Admissions Program Advisor who will base this recommendation on verification of the student’s meeting the requirements, information gathered from Regis faculty about student preparation and maturity, a short informal in-person or phone interview, and any other information relevant to the appropriate fit between the student and the program.
No standardized test score (e.g., GRE, MCAT, DAT), formal recommendations, official transcript submission, or additional application to the M.S. program are required if a student meets the criteria of a Guaranteed Admission Program.
Regis College students not meeting the Guaranteed Admissions criteria remain eligible to apply to the Biology Graduate Programs and have their applications competitively reviewed.
Students approved for Guaranteed Admission will automatically progress into the graduate program, after completing the requirements for the Regis undergraduate degree while maintaining the above conditions of eligibility.
