Entry requirements

An essential criterion for admission to the master's program is the agreement of a GPARS graduate faculty member to serve as a student's advisor. Each student must have an advisor among the GPARS faculty before they are accepted into the Program. In selecting applicants, the Animal & Rangeland Sciences Graduate Selection Committee will consider the prospective student’s statement of purpose, undergraduate and graduate transcripts and three letters of recommendation. In addition to transcripts, prospective students will need three letters of recommendation and a Statement of Purpose and Intent.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate entry terms are Spring, Summer and Fall 2027 for most programmes; several programmes (for example MPH, PhD Public Health, MSW on campus, DPT) accept Fall applicants only.

Graduate application fee is $60 for domestic students and $95 for international students. Applications are submitted by programme through TargetX, GradCAS, BusinessCAS, SOPHAS or EngineeringCAS as listed on the Graduate School apply page.
