Admission requirements

Master of Science, Master of Environmental Management, and Professional Science Masters

In addition to the instructions for admission to the university graduate program, ESM master’s programs require the following information from each applicant.

1. Satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) aptitude test. A satisfactory score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for international students.
2. Three letters of evaluation from persons qualified to assess the applicant’s promise as a graduate student.
3. Evidence of undergraduate or graduate coursework in biology, chemistry, statistics, physics, and mathematics (including differential and integral calculus) approximately equivalent to the foundation course requirements for undergraduate students in environmental science or environmental studies.
4. One official transcript from every college or university attended, including junior colleges and community colleges.
5. Statement of Interest.
6. Current resume or CV.
7. Identification of advisers.

Prospective students should contact the program for a statement of current admission policy. A high GPA and acceptable GRE scores do not guarantee admission to master’s programs in Environmental Science and Management; admission is contingent on the availability of department resources and the identification of an appropriate adviser for each student.
