We welcome applications from students with majors in biology, chemistry, or agriculture
and related areas. An adequate preparation for graduate study in Plant Physiology
includes courses in general biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and
calculus. In addition, courses in biochemistry and physical chemistry are highly
recommended.
An undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or above is generally required
for admission to the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky, and
all applicants for graduate study must take the Graduate Record Examination.
Foreign students are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). Accepted students with scores of less than 550 on this test must
take a short course in English before beginning graduate study at the University
of Kentucky.
Applications may be submitted at any time, but early application is recommended.
Applications may be made through this site. In addition to the application submitted to the Graduate School, applicants to the Plant Physiology Program should send three letters of recommendation, a personal statement of interests and goals, and a CV to the Director of Graduate Studies:
