Students admitted provisionally will make up these deficiencies by enrolling in appropriate courses for undergraduate credit. Applicants with grades in the final two years of an undergraduate program that average below 3.0 may, in exceptional cases, be considered for probational admission. Applicants admitted on a probational basis must acquire regular standing by doing satisfactory graduate work during the first semester of graduate study. The Department of Agricultural Economics is well equipped for research in many areas of agricultural economics. Computing equipment and support staff are available to assist researchers.
Interdisciplinary research is encouraged and facilitated if appropriate.
A limited number of graduate teaching and research assistantships are awarded to graduate students qualified for regular or provisional admission. Graduate assistantships are usually for a five-tenths time basis. Stipends vary depending on time worked and level of graduate education. Graduate assistants and instructors are regarded as residents for enrollment fee purposes. From time to time, fellowships and other grant funds supplied on a scholarship basis are available to qualified students.
