The Graduate Specialization in Environmental Toxicology is jointly managed by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, College of Natural Science, and College of Veterinary Medicine, with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources serving as the lead administrative body. This optional specialization is open to master's degree candidates in various departments including Animal Science, Community Sustainability, Crop and Soil Sciences, Entomology, Fisheries and Wildlife, Food Science and Human Nutrition, Geological Sciences, Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation, Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, and Zoology. It caters to students seeking to integrate their primary field of study with environmental toxicology to address ecological challenges.
Students pursuing this specialization will be advised by a faculty member from their home department who is also affiliated with the Environmental Toxicology program. This advisor will help design a customized study plan aligned with the student's academic interests, skills, and career aspirations. Courses fulfilling the specialization requirements may count toward the master's degree, subject to approval from the student's home department and college.

Qualification Requirements
All Official Transcripts. Bachelor Degree is required for Admission. TOEFL PBT - 550. TOEFL IBT - 80. IELTS - 6.5.
To apply to any degree program you must be in your senior year or a graduate of a Bachelor's degree program comparable to that offered by MSU. To begin a Master's degree you must have completed a Bachelor's degree. To begin a Ph.D. program you ordinarily will need to have completed a Master's degree or the equivalent. Typically, the undergraduate major and prior graduate studies will be in an area of the biological or other relevant sciences, and must include course work appropriate to support the graduate program. Students lacking sufficient course work may be admitted provisionally until such deficiencies are removed by completion of collateral courses.
Ordinarily, a minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) during the last two years of an undergraduate degree and in prior graduate programs is required for admission to any status (regular or provisional). The department faculty have agreed to consider provisional acceptance of students with GPAs in the range of 2.75-3.0. This exception is only made under unusual circumstances where there is strong evidence indicating likely success in graduate studies. Current departmental practice is to not consider students for admission if their GPA is below 2.75. Acceptance into the department is competitive and the 3.0 GPA requirement is a minimum standard, not a guarantee of acceptance. In recent years, the average GPA of incoming graduate students has exceeded 3.5. Applicants who are not native speakers of English must demonstrate proficiency in English.
Applications are reviewed and evaluated in light of information contained in transcripts, letters of reference, examination scores, and in supporting information supplied by the student. There is no specific required GRE score, but examination results are weighed in admission decisions along with other information.
