Admissions
The Plant Breeding Graduate Program (PBGP) currently offers the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Plant Breeding. We welcome applicants who meet our admission requirements to apply to our program. In addition to meeting our admission requirements (see Step 1 below), successful applicants should also identify a faculty who is mutually interested in serving as an advisor and has the financial support for their Ph.D. studies.
We recommend applicants start by reviewing our plant breeding faculty and their research areas and also consulting their individual lab web pages for potential assistantship openings. We also suggest applicants read our financial support page for a description of funding available to prospective students. Our FAQ page is also helpful to help answer commonly asked questions.
Applicants who bring their own funding as a scholarship or fellowship (such as NSF, Fulbright, McNair, McKnight, etc.) are also welcome.
Please note:
- GRE scores are NOT required to apply for the Ph.D. degree in Plant Breeding.
- We do NOT offer a Master's degree (only a Ph.D. degree). However, undergraduate students with advanced coursework and strong research experience are encouraged to apply.
