Clinical Embryology & Andrology Program Admissions Requirements

Candidates must have completed all undergraduate degree requirements and have been issued a bachelor’s degree prior to matriculating as an EVMS student. If the bachelor’s degree was issued by a U.S. college or university, as a general rule it should be from a regionally accredited institution. However, the program may grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Official transcripts from the awarding institution must specify the date upon which the degree was issued.

• Have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 (B-) or better. This requirement may be waived by the program directors based on experience or other factors.
• Have successfully completed two semesters of college-level biology and chemistry.
• Currently work or have worked in clinical IVF or basic reproductive research as a clinical embryologist, andrologist, nurse, physician or research scientist. This requirement may be waived by the program directors based on experience or other factors.
• International students, or applicants whose native language is not English, must take the TOEFL and receive a score equal to or greater than 550 for the paper-based test, or 213 for the computer-based test, or 80 for the iBT exam.

Application Deadline

The application deadline is December 31st for students seeking entry into classes beginning the following April. Applications received after that date may be considered based on merit and space availability. Applications will be reviewed in January, and students will be notified of a decision soon thereafter. Students who plan to seek financial aid are advised to submit their applications as early as possible. Upon acceptance into the program, a $300 non-refundable matriculation fee (which will be credited towards the first semester's tuition) is required to secure class placement.
