Colorado State University-Biology (Botany and Zoology)
Application Deadlines: Jan 15, Nov 1
Degrees Offered: MS, PhD
Min. GPA (Generally): 3.0
GRE (Generally): above 70th percentile
Subject GRE: Not mentioned, so probably not required.
TA'ing: Not required, pays tuition (but only out-of-state for the first year); fill out form when applying
RA'ing: Generally follows the same guidelines as TA'ing; not much information about it; fill out form when applying
Both TA'ing and RA'ing come with a small health benefit IF you get on the school's health insurance. You must work a minimum of 10 hours per week and be a full-time student (at least 6 credits). Support assistantships are also available; these are in administrative offices.
Interesting Sounding Courses: Plant Identification, Poisonous Plants, Aquatic Vascular Plants, Introductory Phycology, Introductory Mycology, Comparative Morphology of Vascular Plants, Global Change Ecology: Impacts and Mitigation, Molecular Ecology, Parasitology and Vector Biology, Ecological Plant Morphology, Topics in Mycology, Presenting Research in Biology, Reproductive Biology of Higher Plants, Molecular Aspects of Plant Development, Phytoremediation, Plant Metabolism, Global Environmental Change: Challenges for Ecology and Economies
Total Cost of Attendance, In-state: $22,316 ($9,164 tuition)
Total Cost of Attendance, Out-of-state: $34,604 ($20,752 tuition)
Potential Advisors: Dr. von Fischer's Webpage (interesting, but really into biogeochem and things that I don't have a background in; microbial ecology and plants affecting each other), see ecology,
No information on pre-requisites.
