Departmental Admission Requirements
The Graduate College requires that to be eligible for admission to either Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree programs at Oklahoma State University, qualified graduates of Colleges and Universities must submit:
A completed application form (we recommend you do this electronically) with an application fee. Mail a non-refundable Application Fee of $40.00 (domestic) or $75.00 (international). Your application cannot be processed without the application fee and the Department cannot waive the fee or pay the fee for you. International students, once accepted, are eligible for the International graduate student admission scholarship and will receive $100. The application is found at http://gradcollege.okstate.edu/download/pdf/International_Scholarship.pdf. International students should also see http://gradcollege.okstate.edu/download/pdf/pros_int_info-01-30-07.pdf for more information about graduate study at OSU.
Two copies of official transcripts, from all institutions previously attended, that show the complete scholastic record, bear the official seal of the institution, and are signed by the issuing officer.
A minimum score of 79 (internet based test), 213 (computer based test) or 550 (paper based test) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international applicants.
A 3.00 Grade Point Average (GPA) or above from the previous degree, or the equivalent for unconditional admission.
The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology has the following additional admission requirements:
An official copy of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score will assist the Department in making a determination as to acceptance to the program and funding of an assistantship. The GRE institution code for OSU is 6546.
Three letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with your academic and/or professional background.
A letter of intent from the student outlining research interests and professional goals.
A resume from Ph.D. applicants who have completed a M.S. is also required.
Oklahoma State University requires that all international students submit a Confirmation of Financial Resources/Statement of Applicant and Sponsor that guarantees that the applicant has support from either him/herself or a sponsor in the amount of $19,830.00 for each year of study before his/her application can be processed (additional funds are required if you wish to bring family members with you). In some instances, a specific professor in your selected area of interest may provide financial support for an international student, but such support is not guaranteed.
The Graduate Student Admissions Committee will make a final decision on all admissions. Only under exceptional circumstances will a student be provisionally admitted to the Graduate Program.
