Requirements
|
|
Applicants for admission to graduate degree programs must first meet the University requirements as set forth in
the Graduate Catalog. They are then considered by the departmental Scholastic Committee, which is chaired by the Graduate Program
Coordinator and includes two faculty members and one student representative. This committee examines applicants for scholastic ability
as evidenced by the required application documents. Particular attention is given to grades received in physical and biological science
courses and to other evidence of achievement in these and related fields. Applications must be complete before they will be considered
by the Scholastic Committee.

The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society also requires additional material from applicants:

a letter of application from his/her major professor should be included. Reference letters should be on official letterhead.

Application Deadlines
|
|
Admission term deadlines:
January 15 for Fall Term
September 15 for Winter Term
December 15 for Spring Term
March 15 for Summer Term
Notice of acceptance or rejection is usually sent within two months of the deadline date (e.g., by March 15 for the January 15 Fall term deadline).
|
Major Professor
|
|
Students considering application to the department are encouraged to communicate directly with potential major professors.
The likelihood of admission is greatly improved by discussing study interests with prospective major professors before submitting
application materials. Once a student and professor are satisfied that they are interested in working together and that the necessary
financial support is available, the student must be accepted by Oregon State University. Alternatively, although admission is less
probable, students may apply directly to the department, which will then attempt to locate a suitable major professor and financial
support.
