Please submit the following:

1. UW-Stevens Point application for graduate study which includes official transcripts for all college courses.

2. Application to the College of Natural Resources graduate program

3. Resume

4. Copy of a paper written by you

5. Essay describing your professional interests and goals

6. Two letters of recommendation

7. You must also have a 3.00 grade point average during your last two years as an undergraduate.

If you fail to meet the minimum admission requirements, you may be accepted if your prospective adviser submits a letter of acceptance to the Associate Dean for inclusion in your graduate file.

You do not need an undergraduate major in one of the natural resource specialties. However, you may have to take additional courses to make up deficiencies in your undergraduate curriculum. If you have an undergraduate major in social sciences or humanities, you could have more deficiencies than someone with a major in the sciences.

Admission/Acceptance to our Master of Science program involves two parts:

1. Your graduate application file must be complete, meaning all your application items have been received by the College. (Please follow the steps indicated on our Application Procedure page)

2. You, as the student applicant, must recruit a member of the CNR graduate faculty to agree to serve as your graduate adviser. It is up to you to contact faculty members directly who share your interests and discuss your application. Graduate faculty members may request additional materials from a student applicant.

If the CNR Main Office is notified by a graduate faculty member that they agree to serve as your graduate adviser AND all your application materials are received, then an acceptance letter will be sent to you. If you have not been successful in recruiting a graduate adviser, then you are not accepted into our program. As a courtesy, letters are sent to unsuccessful graduate program applicants usually in July or August for the fall semester and January for the spring semester.
