EECB Admission Requirements
All applicants will be required to submit:
 

» Copy of UH graduate application

» Results of the Graduate Record Examination*

» Copy of the official transcripts (UH to be included if applicant is an existing student)

» Three letters of recommendation

» Statement of career goals

» Statement from sponsor

 
 

 

 
 
         
 

 
Only students who have been accepted to a graduate program in one of the academic departments at UHM can be accepted to the EECB program.

Regardless of department admission deadlines, the EECB program deadline is Feb 1 for the fall semester.

» New students are not accepted in the spring.

The application, GRE’s, transcripts and letters of recommendation must be submitted to the department to which you are applying. EECB applicants must enter “EECB” in box 6 of the application where it specifies “area of specialization” and proceed to follow the directions for submitting the application to the UH Graduate Division.

The EECB application consists of a letter expressing your interest in EECB and a copy of your complete Graduate School application. The letter should be sent to the EECB program office at the address below. Recommendation letters, copies of transcripts and copies of GRE scores should also be sent to the EECB office. Failure to send the appropriate copies may cause delays in processing your EECB application.

         
    The EECB admissions committee uses the following criteria when evaluating applications:
         
      » GRE scores: The minimum that will be considered is the average of the three standard tests (verbal, quantitative and analytical) exceeding the 75th percentile. A student will not be considered if scores for any one of the three tests falls below 50% (unless overriding considerations from below prevail).  
 
» GPA: 3.0 or higher, OR 3.5 during senior year.   
 
» Written statement from applicant: Statements will be reviewed for content and writing style.  
 
» Letters of recommendation.
       
 

 
If you are not accepted based upon the above criteria when first admitted to another graduate program at UH, we encourage you to apply during your second year of school after demonstrating your ability to excel within your graduate program. In this case, you will want to show the admissions committee your progress during your first year by submitting a new letter of interest, UH transcripts and a strong letter of support from your sponsor.

Deadlines for application to EECB by existing UH students are as follows:

»
February 1 for fall semester, October 15 for spring semester.

Before he/she can be admitted:

An applicant must have a faculty sponsor who is also a member of the EECB graduate faculty. Ordinarily, though not necessarily, the sponsor would become the student's graduate advisor/committee chair.
 

* Although a GRE advanced test score is not required for admission, applicants are advised to submit the results of an appropriate advanced test.
