If you are interested in graduate study in the lab, the Graduate Study Info Summary is important to read and will be helpful in answering several questions.

Departmental policy recommends that prospective graduate students contact the faculty in the department who work in the student's area of interest to determine if they are accepting applications before submitting a formal application to the Graduate School. Most successful applicants have developed a research focus and can relate their desired area of study to a particular faculty member, so personal contact is very important. This contact should be made 6-12 months prior to desired admission. Note: this contact does not ensure admission to the University; rather is serves to inform prospective applicants if there are openings in that faculty members research program.

Generally, the Department does not accept new graduate students unless they meet all the admission requirements and (1) financial support for the student is currently in the hands of a faculty member, or is assured by the time the student begins, or (2) a student brings independent funding and has contacted a faculty member who agrees to serve as advisor.
