Plant Pathology: Academic Programs

Graduate Programs

Admission

Thank you for your interest in our graduate program in plant pathology at the University of Georgia. If you would like additional information about specific research programs, individual faculty members will be glad for you to contact them.

If you decide to apply for admission to the Department of Plant Pathology, follow the instructions on the Graduate School webpage. You will notice that the application, transcripts, and GRE scores have to be mailed to the Graduate School who will then send us copies for our departmental file. The letters of reference are mailed directly to our Graduate Coordinator, Scott Gold. Also, please complete the departmental form to provide supporting information and return to Dr. Gold. When your application is complete, the Plant Pathology Graduate Studies Committee and the Graduate School will evaluate the information in your files. You will receive official notice from the Graduate School about your acceptance.

Financial Assistance

Assistantships will be available for next year through the Department of Plant Pathology as well as the Graduate School. They are awarded competitively based on grade point averages, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation. Although the deadline for applying for assistantships is February 15, you should try and have your application for admission to the Graduate School completed as soon as possible. Since there is a limited number of assistantships and the decisions on assistantship awards are made separately from the decisions on admission, it is possible to be accepted for graduate study but not win an assistantship.
