Candidates for admission must show a past history of scholarship and academic excellence and a desire and determination to further their studies in the environmental sciences with an emphasis on original scientific research. Although not specifically required for admission, a firm background in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, geology, and biology will be to the student’s advantage. The Dean’s minimum standards for admission are an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (last two years)—successful applicants, however, are more likely to have a GPA of at least 3.4. and have shown particular promise for research through correspondence, telephone conversations,tr personal interviews, or evidence of scholarship and research not represented by grades or test scores. For foreign students, a TOEFL iBT score of 90 or higher is required for admission.
There are two deadlines for applying for admission depending on the semester one wishes to begin and the type(s) of financial aid for which one wishes to be considered.
for September admission: January 15 (for all departmental financial aid including research and teaching assistantships)
for January admission: October 1 : (no financial aid)
In all cases, anyone applying for admission must submit to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences:
(1) an application,
(2) an unofficial transcript of your entire college record,
(3) results of the Graduate Record Examination (only the verbal and quantitative aptitude tests), and
(4) at least two letters of recommendation. Foreign students must also submit a TOEFL score. Other information indicative of applicant’s academic and research abilities should be included. Direct contact with faculty with similar interests is essential. A personal interview is recommended.

The Department of Environmental Sciences (EVSC) is an academic department offering instruction and conducting research in the areas of ecology, geosciences, hydrology, and atmospheric sciences. This unique juxtaposition of several sciences in one department fosters cooperation and exchange among traditional disciplines that share similar methodological and philosophical problems. The research endeavors of both faculty and graduate students, whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary, deal largely with problems of fundamental scientific interest. Research fields include environmental biogeochemistry, coastal processes, hydrogeology, catchment hydrology, microbial ecology, wetlands ecology, terrestrial ecology, boundary-layer meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, and climatology. Initiatives involving groups of faculty in contaminant hydrogeology, global environmental change, and coastal ecosystems encompass a number of graduate research opportunities.
The department offers three graduate degree programs: The Master of Arts, Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy. The M.A. degree candidate must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours, including 24 credits of course work at the graduate level. The student’s M.A. program of study is developed in consultation with the candidate’s major professor and includes a thesis. Training in ecology, hydrology, atmospheric science, and geosciences is expected of the degree candidate. The M.S. program emphasizes new scientific research in addition to fundamental coursework. A degree candidate must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours including 24 hours of graduate level coursework. One course from each of the four core areas of the department (ecology, hydrology, geosciences, and atmospheric sciences) is required. The Ph.D. program degree emphasizes original research and independent study. The degree candidate is required to complete the four core-area courses as for the M.S., one additional 700-level course and a minimum of 54 credit hours including thesis research. Thesis committees are usually interdisciplinary and are composed according to the type of research to be conducted. Ph.D. candidates must pass a written and oral comprehensive examination administered by their dissertation committee within four semesters of entering the program.
The Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in Environmental Sciences is designed to provide students with an advanced, graduate-level background in the disciplines that comprise the environmental sciences, so that the knowledge gained could be applied by the student in areas such as environmental applications, law, teaching, public policy, etc. The program is coursework intensive and does not require primary research. This degree is not designed for students who wish to pursue basic research in the Environmental Sciences or related fields in the future.
