Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take a specialized GRE for admission?
No, just a general GRE transcript is needed.
What are the prerequisite courses?
See here.
Are you able to assess my qualifications for your graduate program if I send you a CV?
We make admission decisions based on all the materials requested as part of the application packet, so it is not necessary to send a CV prior to applying (you may, however, include a CV with your application). Please note that the Bioinformatics Admissions Committee will not have access to any of your application materials until your application is complete at the UALR Graduate School; only then will they forward it on the Admissions Committee.
Do students get financial aid during their MS or its only during the PhD period?
Students who are admitted to the MS-only program are not eligible for graduate assistantships. Students who are admitted to the combined MS/PhD program are eligible for assistantships starting during their MS phase. Keep in mind though that we admit many more students than we are able to supply financial assistance to.
For reporting GRE and TOEFL test scores, what are the UALR institution code and department codes?
The UALR code is 6368l you can find this on the GRE website (www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL/pdf/toefl-tse_inst_list.pdf). No department code is necessary.
Do letters of reference need to be in any particular format?
No, they just need to address the applicant's suitability for admission and prospects of success in graduate school.
