Graduate Program
Requirements for Admission to the Graduate Program
Applicants to the PCMB Graduate Program must submit a completed OSU graduate application, transcripts of all prior college work, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and scores for the GRE General test.
Undergraduate
course work in physics, calculus, and genetics as well as a background
in plant sciences strengthens the application. International applicants
must also submit scores from the TOEFL or
Michigan Test of Written English. If an international applicant wishes
to be considered for Graduate Teaching Associateship, scores from the Test
of Spoken English (TSE) are also mandatory. In general, the department
will not consider applicants with a grade-point average below 3.0, a TOEFL
score below 500, or a Michigan Test score below 80. Each applicant will
be evaluated on the basis of his/her complete application file, rather
than by any single criterion.
