Foreign students from countries other than Canada must apply six months before the expected date of enrollment.
Earlier application is recommended.
Official transcripts of all college or university work should be sent directly from the relevant institutions to the Graduate School and copies to the chair of the Department of Agricultural Economics. An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a recognized college or university and must be accepted by the department and approved by the dean of the Graduate School. Regular student status is granted to students from the United States or Canada who have earned a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher in the last half of their undergraduate work, or in graduate school, if they have completed 12 or more semester hours of recognized graduate study. Applicants to the Ph.D. program with a master's degree are expected to have a grade-point average well above the minimum 3.00. Provisional student status may be granted to a student whose grade-point average is below 3.00, if the student's total record indicates the potential for successful graduate study.
