There are Two Critical Steps in the Admissions Process
Find a Faculty Advisor
Students must have an EPA faculty member willing to accept them into his or her laboratory as a condition of acceptance to the program. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact faculty whose research interests are compatible with their own to determine if these faculty members are accepting students and, if so, to arrange a visit to the campus. Most faculty members will request a curriculum vitae and a statement of research interests from prospective students.
