Application information

Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): The undergraduate training of students planning to undertake graduate study in plant biology should ordinarily include at least 24 semester hours in plant biology and/or other biological sciences. At least 12 of these must be in upper-division work. This requirement in the major should be supported by coursework in the other sciences, especially chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

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 application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline.
