This is a two-step application procedure. First, a full application (including transcripts) is submitted to UC Davis for the Joint Doctoral Program in Ecology on or before December 1 (November 31 in years when the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday) at: https://grad.ucdavis.edu/apply. Review of applications for each Fall semester will commence in early January with decisions made as quickly as possible thereafter.
Second, those selected will be asked to submit an abbreviated application at: http://www.csumentor.edu.
All applications are ranked by the ecology doctoral faculty of SDSU and UCD and reviewed by the SDSU JDPE Executive Committee, and the Graduate Deans of both SDSU and UCD. Many factors go into selecting the successful applicants. To be given full consideration, students should have a GPA of more than 3.2.
