| shikha | Re: Msu fw The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University offers a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree and thesis and non-thesis options for Master of Science degrees in Fisheries and Wildlife. The department’s graduate program is a national leader in the training of fishery and wildlife professionals for careers in research, management, teaching, extension and consulting. Graduate student research projects encompass diverse areas of limnology, fisheries and wildlife, including human dimensions aspects. Graduate Focus Areas- Focus areas in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Graduate program include: Wildlife Ecology and Management Limonology (includes Stream Ecology and Wetland Ecology and Management) Fisheries Science and Management Conservation Biology Human Dimensions of Fisheries and Wildlife Management Aquaculture Ecological Genetics and Physiology Biometry and Ecological Modeling Admissions Requirements- Bachelor’s degree program comparable to that offered by MSU To begin a Ph.D. program you ordinarily will need to have completed a Master’s degree or the equivalent. Typically the undergraduate major and prior graduate studies will be in an area of the biological or other relevant sciences, and must include course work appropriate to support the graduate program. A minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) during the last two years of an undergraduate degree and in prior graduate programs is required for admission to any status (regular or provisional). The Departmental faculty have agreed to consider provisional acceptance of students with GPA’s in the range of 2.75-3.0. This exception is only made under unusual circumstances where there is strong evidence indicating likely success in graduate studies. Current Departmental practice is to not consider students for admission if their GPA is below 2.75. Acceptance into the Fisheries and Wildlife Department is competitive and the 3.0 GPA requirement is a minimum standard, not a guarantee of acceptance. The General GRE exam is required and an advanced exam (usually Biology) is recommended. The Department accepts applications throughout the year and some students begin their programs during each semester. The majority of students are accepted to start their programs at the beginning of the fall semester. Most graduate student programs in their department require outside funding to support the research and to provide a Research Assistantship stipend for the student. Open positions in their graduate program depend upon this funding, and the timing and number of positions is somewhat unpredictable in advance. These positions are filled on a rolling basis as highly qualified students apply. They strongly encourage you to complete your application as early as possible, to ensure that you are considered for all appropriate openings. In addition, to be given full consideration for Departmental recruiting fellowships, your application needs to be complete by February, and to compete for a University Distinguished Fellowship your application must be complete by January 1.
