Qualification Requirements
Applicants having a bachelor's degree in fields that are related or unrelated to environmental and soil sciences may apply although acceptance may be contingent upon the completion of prerequisite coursework.
Submit online application, application fee, and official transcripts to the Office of Graduate Admissions. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is recommended but not required for admission to the program. Scores from the general GRE test are given different weights by various faculty advisors, so applicants are encouraged to directly contact their desired faculty advisor to determine the importance of this indicator to the success of their application.
The online application procedure will also direct the applicant to submit an updated resume, three letters of reference (or three Graduate Rating Forms) from persons capable of assessing the applicant's suitability for graduate work, and a statement of professional goals, research interests in environmental and soil sciences, and reasons for applying (less than one page).
Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a 2.7 out of 4.0 GPA or 3.0 GPA during the senior year of undergraduate study.
Minimum score requirements for admission to the Graduate School are:
a total score of 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT),
a total score of 550 or equivalent on the paper-based TOEFL (PBT), or
a 6.5 overall band score on the IELTS.
