General requirements

Students who are admitted to the department must meet the Graduate School requirements, including completion of a bachelor's degree. Satisfactory preparation for graduate study in plant pathology includes coursework in biology, chemistry, math, and physics.

Successful applicants have generally completed this foundation coursework before admission (see UW-Madison equivalent courses below). However, if foundation course requirements have not been fulfilled before matriculation, they must be completed as early as possible in the course of study.

Successful applicants typically exceed the minimum requirement of a 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale); exceed the minimum required Test of English as a Foreign Language (iTOEFL) score of 92, or a 7 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam (international applicants); and articulate a strong interest in the discipline in their application.
