Application materials and general information may be obtained from this website or by writing to, or e-mailing Dr. Lord. Prospective applicants who may be in the Rochester area and wish to visit our faculty are welcome to do so, but should consult with Dr. Lord in advance so that a schedule may be arranged.

The admissions committee reviews and ranks applications as they are received, and makes offers on a rolling basis. There is no strict application deadline, but it is to your advantage to apply as early as possible since there is only a limited number of available slots in this program. In general, we would prefer that applicants begin the program in the early summer.

All participants receive free health (and other) fees, and a stipend ($21,000/year). Tuition for needed courses is also free.
