MA/MS in Environmental Studies

Unofficial transcripts should show all coursework taken to date and, if applicable, the title of the degree earned and the date the degree was conferred.

Applicants must submit unofficial transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended, including the University of Oregon. Unofficial transcripts are uploaded as part of the online application.

Enter information on three people who have agreed to write letters of reference for you. 1) Recommendations from faculty members who have taught or advised you carry the most weight. Letters from professionals who have supervised you in environmental work are also acceptable in a supplemental capacity. 2) Enter their name, position, institution or employer, address, telephone number, and email address. 3) The University of Oregon will notify them via e-mail that a letter is needed.

In addition to the standard elements of a resume, list any environmentally-related employment, projects, or volunteer work.

This is a narrative of three to five double-spaced, typewritten pages that clearly expresses your reasons for applying to this program. Show how past achievements make you a good candidate and how your experience will complement your ambitions. Describe any intangibles not represented elsewhere in your application. Avoid the obvious. Applicants can assume that we believe those who want to come here are dedicated to make the world a better place, have nurtured these tendencies since childhood, and think the Pacific Northwest is beautiful and environmentally friendly.
