Entry requirements for 賓州大學大學公園校區

Minimum admission requirements the Forest Resources graduate degree include an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.75 and junior-senior average of 3.0, based on a 4.0 scale. Because of the diversity of programs in the department, professional preparation may vary considerably. In general, the following subject matter areas are required (with the number of course credits noted in parentheses) for admission to the Forest Resources graduate program:
Chemistry and/or physics (8)
Calculus, statistics, computer science (10)
Biology, botany, zoology (8)
Writing and speaking (12)
Economics, social sciences, humanities (12)
Forest science, wildlife and fisheries science, wood products (18)
Recipients of baccalaureate degrees from forest science, wildlife and fisheries science, wood products programs and other typical science programs normally will fulfill the course subject area requirements. Students with undergraduate degrees not in these disciplines are invited to apply, but may be admitted on a provisional status pending make-up of deficiencies. The faculty member who agrees to serve as adviser of a provisional student will stipulate conditions to be met for transfer from provisional status to a graduate degree program. Final decision on course deficiencies rests with the student's graduate committee. Provisional status will not be used for admitting students who have substandard grades to Ph.D. programs.

Admission to the Ph.D. program requires evidence of research ability, e.g., a master's degree thesis, paper, or equivalent publication and a grade point average of 3.3 or higher in a graduate degree program, exclusive of thesis and special problems. Baccalaureate degree students graduating from an honors program with a required thesis, or who have authored a refereed publication, may be considered for admittance without a master's degree.

All international applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section for the Internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, with Graduate School approval, which requires an institutional test of English proficiency upon the first semester of enrollment and, if necessary, remedial course work. The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5.
