Master's Admission Requirements
Scores
from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), or from a comparable
substitute examination accepted by a graduate program and authorized by
the dean of the Graduate School, are required for admission.
At the discretion of a graduate program, a student may be
admitted provisionally for graduate study in a program without these
scores. Requirements listed
here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in
the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate
Bulletin.
Prerequisites
for the master’s program include 12 credits in rural sociology,
sociology, agricultural economics, or other social and behavioral
sciences at the discretion of the graduate program. If the entering
student does not have these prerequisites, they must be made up at the
University during the early part of the master’s program.
Students
with a 3.00 average (on a 4.00 scale) for the most recent two years of
college/university education, or with an advanced degree, and with
appropriate course and experiential backgrounds will be considered for
admission. Applicants must
submit a letter of professional introduction in which they describe
their professional experiences and education, delineate their career
goals, and discuss how the MS program will enable them to meet their
objectives. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the
number of spaces that are available for new students.
Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made
for students with special backgrounds, experience, abilities, and
interests.
