Other requirements

General requirements

If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree under the advisement of one of our faculty members, start by visiting their website and contacting them directly.

To be considered for admission, you will first need to reach out to a potential faculty advisor and gain their support for your admission into your intended SOE degree.

The School of the Environment does not consider graduate applicants who have not secured a faculty advisor before applying, so please do not apply to one of our graduate degrees without first doing this step.

If you have reached out to a potential faculty advisor without securing their support, you will need to wait to apply until you have found an advisor and secured their support.
