Admission Requirements
(in addition to Graduate School requirements)
- A Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required. There is no minimum score requirement, but scores exceeding 150 for verbal and quantitative components, and 4.0 on the analytical writing portion, are typical for successful applicants.
- For students from countries where English is not the official language, TOEFL or IELTS scores must be reported; TOEFL scores should generally exceed 90 (combined) IELTS scores should generally exceed 7.0.
- Ordinarily, a Master's Degree with a thesis requirement is expected of students applying to the Ph.D. program. Students who wish to transit directly to a Ph.D. degree Program from a B.S. or B.A. must demonstrate competence in independent research and exceptional academic ability.
- Strong letters of recommendation from at least two referees familiar with the applicant's academic history.
Other expectations:
- A Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) or its equivalent in undergraduate coursework during the last two (2) years of continuous enrollment or the last 60 credit hours of discontinuous enrollment (M.S. degree candidates), or a GPA of at least 3.00 or its equivalent in graduate coursework.
- In nearly all cases, an applicant should have identified and contacted a prospective major advisor from among the Entomology faculty, whose areas of specialization closely correspond to the applicant’s goals, and who should have established some plan for funding the student’s tuition and research work.
- Some of the above expectations may be offset by other evidence of accomplishments, such as high-quality publications or other evidence of involvement in entomological research; or by strong recommendations by one or more Entomology Graduate Program faculty with whom the student would work.
All applicants are strongly urged to visit Clemson University and meet the Entomology Graduate Program's facu
