M.S. Environmental Science

Admission will be based on your academic record (B or better average on the last 60 hours of undergraduate credits or established graduate-level proficiency), your personal statement, three letters of recommendation (including the FAU faculty sponsor), and minimum GRE scores of 151 Verbal and 151 Quantitative. GRE scores more than five years old will not be accepted.

Potential students (both non-thesis and thesis) must have a faculty "sponsor" from within Florida Atlantic University, who will then act as the student’s advisor for thesis students until a thesis topic has been chosen. The faculty sponsor and two additional references will submit their letters of recommendation directly through the GradCAS application system.

For sponsor selection suggestions, contact Program Assistant Cynthia Berman at envirosci@fau.edu, Program Coordinator Dianne Owen at dowen@fau.edu, or go to the departmental web pages to examine the fields and interests of individual faculty. When you find a faculty member in your field of interest, contact them directly.
