Admission
Procedures. Prospective
students will apply directly to the Program through
the University of Maine Graduate School. Top candidates
will be brought to Maine for an on-site interview.
Prior to their arrival candidates will be asked to select
specific faculty with whom they wish to interview.
During their visit, students tour the research centers
and facilities and participate in small group discussion
sessions with faculty and students. All students
admitted to the program receive stipends and tuition
support.
Admissions Requirements.
Minimum standards for admission will be: 1) three
strong letters of recommendation from qualified individuals
in science or engineering; 2) a G.P.A. of 3.5; and 3)
GRE scores totaling 1200 or greater for the combined
verbal and quantitative sections and 4.5 or greater
for the analytical writing section. Special consideration
will be given to students with prior research experience.
Exceptional letters of recommendation and significant
prior research experience can compensate for weaknesses
in G.P.A or GRE scores. Since this program is funded
by an NSF training grant, students must either be a
US citizen or a permanent resident. Send application
