Agroforestry How to apply

How to apply

Fulfill the admission requirements:

• Completed baccalaureate or advanced degree from a regionally accredited institution.
• Minimum GPA of 3.0 in the last 60 hours of undergraduate education if you do not have a master's degree.
• If English is not your native language, please submit a TOEFL score of at least 80 (internet-based test), an IELTS score of at least 6.5, a Pearson Test of English (PTE) score of at least 59 or a Cambridge C1 Advanced score of at least 180.
• GRE scores are not required

If your application falls short of the above standards (e.g. your GPA is less than 3.0), the department may evaluate you individually.

Gather your papers

Applying will be easier and faster if you gather these required documents beforehand:

• Statement of purpose. Explain your reasons for seeking the graduate certificate and how you hope to apply it once completed.
• Transcripts of all previous college or university education. Upload unofficial transcripts in your online application. If you are accepted, you will be asked to provide official transcripts.
• Two letters of recommendation. In the online application, you will need to supply names and contact details of two people who can attest to your professional competence, academic preparation and potential for graduate work. Ideally, one letter should be from a professor who can discuss your academic abilities, and the other from an administrator or colleague who can describe your professional experience and potential. The Graduate School will contact your references with instructions regarding the letters.
• TOEFL, IELTS, PTE or C1 Advanced score reports for applicants whose native language is not English. For information on sending test scores, visit the Grad School website.
