AdmissionGraduate Record Examination General Test scores are required prior to consideration for admission. Students seeking admission to graduate status must hold a BS degree and have a record of high scholarship in areas closely related to the plant sciences. Academic record is one indicator of such potential. A traditional standard is a B (3.00 on 4.00 scale) average or better for the last two years of undergraduate or graduate work. All applications are reviewed by a departmental committee for final recommendation to The Graduate School. Successful applicants are accepted by both the department and The Graduate School.
Admission decisions are individual, not class decisions, applicants may not be acceptable regardless of the institution from which credentials are submitted, if their preparation is not considered, in the judgment of the appropriate faculty and administration of this University, to be both adequate and appropriate. In addition, enrollment may be limited by the availability of faculty, staff and facilities. Therefore, it may not be possible to accommodate and admit all students who are otherwise qualified. Admission is permitted for only one graduate degree program at a time. Concurrent admission is not permitted for graduate degrees. Applicants should review the specific departmental requirements for admission.
