Prior to applying, the prospective applicants must have a Wildland Resources faculty member agree to serve as their major (supervisory) advisor. It is recommended that interested applicants first contact specific faculty members with whom they are interested in working.

If the faculty member is accepting graduate students and agrees to serve as the major advisor, the applicant may then apply for admission through the School of Graduate Studies website. Applications are reviewed and processed on an ongoing basis.

Please note that funding is not provided by the Wildland Resources Department. Funding may be available through the major advisor, or a third party (such as an employer), or a student may be self-funded.
