PhD Program
All applicants are expected to have a background in biology, chemistry, mathematics and the physical sciences. An overall 3.0 GPA (B average) is expected and results of the Graduate Record Examination are encouraged but not required. International students must present evidence of proficiency in English (TOEFL or other acceptable examination). In addition to completing the application for admission to the graduate school, applicants must submit the following information directly to the entomology department:
- Transcripts of all previous academic training.
- A letter describing career objectives fill with the statement of purpose form.
- A resume or curriculum vita.
- An abstract of the Master’s thesis if applicables.
- Three letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the Graduate School by the writers of the letters, not the applicant.
Acceptance into the department is based upon approval by the graduate affairs committee, the department head, availability of an advisor and funding, and admission by the Graduate Program Director.
