For full consideration, applications for Fall 2025 should be received by December 2, 2024. We will continue to evaluate applications after this date; however, early applications receive priority. We no longer evaluate the general GRE. The Biology subject GRE is optional.
- Identify an EEB core faculty member to serve as your faculty sponsor. The best way to do this is to e-mail prospective sponsors individually with your academic CV and a brief paragraph explaining why your experience and interests make you a good fit with their lab. If you need additional assistance with contacting a faculty member, please feel free to utilize EEB Application Navigators.
- Submit the online application at GraduateCAS. Contact EEB if you would like to be considered for a need-based fee waiver. Further information about Texas A&M and the application process can be found at the Office of Admissions. The online application must include a statement of purpose explaining why you want to pursue graduate studies and why you are applying to the EEB program, and describing your research interests and previous research experience. In your statement of purpose, you should identify your prospective faculty sponsor.
- Use the online application system to request three letters of recommendation, to be uploaded directly by your recommenders.
- Have transcripts and TOEFL or IELTS scores (required for international applicants) sent to the Texas A&M Office of Admissions and Records. The Institute Code for Texas A&M University is 6003 (there is no department code needed). Any hard copies should go to the address below. To expedite processing, we strongly encourage applicants to attach unofficial transcripts to their applications in WebCAS while their official transcripts are processing/in transit.
