How To Apply
1. Contact potential advisor(s). Choosing the right advisor is a critical part of a successful graduate career. Please use the department web-site to learn more about our faculty and their research programs. It is important that your advisor has experience and expertise in a research area you would like to pursue. Please contact individual faculty to determine if they have any opportunities for new students. Make sure to include information about your qualifications for graduate study and specific reasons why you are considering that faculty member as a potential advisor.
2. Apply to the North Dakota State University Graduate School. The application procedure for graduate school can be found here
