Admission to the Environmental Sciences and Engineering graduate program normally presupposes graduation from an accredited undergraduate curriculum in some related field of science such as Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics or Geology. Applied fields, such as Soil Science, or Forestry and Wildlife, are also appropriate. Students should have a mathematics background that includes elementary differential equations and a basic course in microbiology, although these can be obtained as remedial work while in the graduate program. Admission is competitive among applicants, with minimum GPA requirements for undergraduates of 3.3 or higher, computed on a 4.0 scale, for the last two years of undergraduate work. Submission of GRE scores is required.
Financial assistance is available to well-qualified students.
Students accepted by transfer may have up to six semester hours of course work and thesis credit transferred to a M.S. program, if approved by the student's advisory committee. This catalog may be obtained by requesting a copy from either the Admission Office, University Bookstore or the Graduate School. Admission forms are available from the Graduate School and all students should apply directly to the Graduate School.
