The Michigan Tech Graduate School collects all student applications. Visit their How to Apply page when you're ready to proceed with the application process.
All students applying to graduate programs in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science must submit the following materials to the graduate program director. (Mailing address)
- GRE scores. Desirable scores are 500 verbal and 500 quantitative. However, admission decisions consider all application materials.
- Personal résumé
- Description. List the name(s) of desired faculty advisor(s), program, and description of your anticipated area of study and research interest—one to two pages. (Not applicable to Peace Corps/MI and Master of Forestry students)
- Three letters of recommendation. These can be requested electronically through your Husky Hub account, once your application has been processed. You may also use the paper form.
Deadlines
Applications will be accepted throughout the year. However, applications for fall enrollment should be completed by late February. Apply at least a semester in advance to improve your chances of receiving funding.
Procedures
All applications are reviewed on an individual basis using a holistic approach. However, your application cannot be reviewed until all materials required by both the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science and the Michigan Tech Graduate School have been received. The Graduate School will notify applicants of the admission decision. Students may track the status of their application on Husky Hub.
