Students must hold a baccalaureate degree in one of the natural sciences or engineering from an accredited college or university. Students must have earned an undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale calculated on all work attempted in which letter grades were awarded and must present a minimum score of 1000 on the aptitude test (verbal and quantitative) of the Graduate Record Examination.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of this program, students admitted to this program will be expected to have completed courses in the following disciplines: physical and historical geology, introductory biology, introductory chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, and introductory physics. At the discretion of the Environmental Science Advisory Committee, students without this background may be granted conditional acceptance. However, it is expected that these deficiencies will be removed within the first two semesters of graduate work.

Applications can be obtained from the Office of Graduate Admissions, Columbus State University, 4225 University Avenue, Columbus, GA 31907
