Visiting as a Prospective Graduate Student in Natural Resources

Prospective graduate students visiting the Cornell campus with an interest in potential study in the Field of Natural Resources should plan their visit thoughtfully. Graduate students are typically admitted after being proposed for acceptance by a specific faculty member in the Graduate Field of Natural Resources, therefore your first point of contact should be with prospective faculty advisors who share your academic interests. Make sure to correspond with faculty members and set up meetings prior to your arrival on campus.

When inquiring about graduate opportunities, it is useful to provide faculty with a summary of your: (1) Academic interests, (2) Academic background (classes taken, GPA, and GRE scores, if available), and (3) Your resume.
