Master of Science in Environmental and Forest Sciences

Master of Science (M.S.) students are required to complete a research-based thesis, and course requirements are flexible to support a student's specific educational and career goals. In addition, MS degree students have the option of pursuing one of two concurrent degrees: the Master of Science (M.S.)/Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) and the Master of Science (M.S.)/Master of Public Affairs (MPA).

Hold the minimum equivalent of a four-year baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S. or its equivalent from a foreign institution.

Also acceptable: hold a Master's degree, a doctoral degree (Ph.D., D.Phil.), or a professional degree (M.D., J.D., D.V.M., etc.) from a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S. or its equivalent from a foreign institution.

Have earned at least a 3.0 grade-point-average (on a 4 point scale) from a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S. or its equivalent from a foreign institution for the last 90 graded quarter credits or 60 graded semester credits from a baccalaureate degree (for a Master's, doctoral, or professional degree, the total cumulative average may be used). Environmental and Forest Sciences requires these minimum scores on one of the following tests: 580 on the written test (TOEFL), 237 on the computer-based test (TOEFLC), 92 on the internet-based (TOEFLiBT) test, 7.0 on the IELTS
