Timetable
Applications are due December 1, 2009. Our review of applications will proceed in two stages after this date. First, we will invite a group of outstanding doctoral candidates to visit Minnesota during an EEB Welcome Weekend to be held in January. At this event, the department will interview these candidates and give them a chance to get to know the faculty, students, and many aspects of our graduate program. If you are among those selected, you will be notified about two weeks before Welcome Weekend so that we can work with you to make travel arrangements. Please note that not all applicants invited will ultimately be admitted, whereas some who do not receive invitations may be admitted.
The second stage of our admission process begins in early March, when we begin formally admitting students. At this point, we are in a position to put together individualized financial aid packages for the students we admit. Financial packages consist of some mix of fellowships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships. Admitted students usually receive additional summer stipends from departmental block grants, faculty research grants, training grants, or teaching assistantships. All Doctoral and Master's candidates can expect notification of acceptance no later than mid-April.
