Graduate Education in the Department of Conservation Social Sciences
Welcome to the University of Idaho and the Department of Conservation Social Sciences! The following information has been assembled to help you in your selection of a graduate program and will provide answers for most of your questions. Remember that we are always available to assist you and we encourage you to develop a close, professional relationship with all faculty and staff members in the department.
Graduate education can be an exciting experience in learning and discovery. Those of you who choose to enter graduate school must do so with the determination and dedication to get the most out of your experience. You, your major professor, and your committee will attempt to design a program that best fits your personal needs, educational and professional needs.
The department of CSS offers a Master of Science (M.S.) in Resource Recreation and Tourism and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Natural Resources. Entrance into the program is through the University of Idaho College of Graduate Studies and is highly competitive. Admission to the graduate program normally requires completion of undergraduate coursework in the natural and social sciences. Applicants who have completed their undergraduate degrees in fields not closely related to Resource Recreation and Tourism may be required to make up deficiencies as determined by their advisory committees. In addition to the college's application requirements, the Graduate Record Examination (or other accepted graduate examination such as GMAT or LSAT) is required for consideration of all candidates. International applicants are required to take the TOEFL exam. Admission is based on undergraduate grades, evidence of ability to complete graduate-level work, letters of recommendation, examination scores, the compatibility of the student's educational and career objectives with areas of concentration in the department, and the availability of departmental graduate faculty.
***Although you will be working in the Department of CSS in the College of Natural resources, you would officially be a student in the College of Graduate Studies. The dean of Graduate Studies, not the dean of the College of Natural Resources, must sign any documentation that requires a dean's signature. The business offices of the college of Graduate Studies are located on the first floor of Morrill Hall.
