Entry requirements

In general, applicants should have at least a 3.00 (B) grade point average, or the equivalent, in undergraduate work. Applicants for graduate study in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology must have: BA or BS degree or equivalent that provides a strong background in biology, strong ability and motivation, as indicated by academic record and letters of recommendation, and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores. Scores from the GRE Biology subject exam are optional but can be helpful, particularly for students with nontraditional backgrounds in biology. These requirements do not preclude admission of qualified applicants who have majored in areas other than biology. Students should have completed coursework in ecology, evolution (or equivalent), mathematics (including calculus), and statistics prior to admission. Applicants whose native language is not English must also take either the TOEFL or IELTS test and must score at least 90 on the internet-based TOEFL. For those students who choose to take the IELTS in lieu of TOEFL, the minimum score is 7.
