Applications for the degree programs are considered three times a year. The application deadlines for those semesters are as follows: Fall Semester – August 1, Spring Semester – December 1, Summer Semester – May 15. Students seeking full admission into the Master of Science in Conservation Education program should apply as a classified student. Non-degree seeking students wishing to take classes offered through the program should apply as an Unclassified or non-degree seeking student. An applicant for admission to graduate study must hold a bachelor's degree from a fully recognized four-year educational institution that has unconditional accreditation with appropriate regional accrediting agencies. They must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School and the Master of Science in Conservation Education program. Regular admission to graduate study in the program requires a minimum grade point average (last four semesters of undergraduate work) of 3.00/4.00. When a student is deficient in one of the criteria cited, the student's application, may be considered for admission based on the strength of other materials contained in the student's application. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores are NOT required for entry into this program.
