What tests do zoologists/biologists have to take for a Ph D. degree?
To get a Ph.D. degree you must first get a bachelor’s degree at a college or university. You will then apply for admission to a Ph.D. program at a major research university. To be eligible for admission into any Ph.D. program, you will have to take a test called the GRE General Test. GRE stands for Graduate Record Examination. Some Ph.D. programs will also require you to take a specific subject test in addition to the GRE General Test. Someone applying to a doctoral program in Zoology would probably take either the GRE Biology Subject Test or the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Subject Test. Information about all of these tests can be found at www.ets.org. If you choose to attend Wilmington College for your bachelor’s degree, your academic advisor will help you make sure that you are taking the appropriate courses, will advise you on which Ph.D. programs might be best for you, and will help you scope out the admissions requirements for your programs of interest.
