Graduate Pre-Application Form

The following is the electronic pre-application form for graduate study in UVM's Plant Biology Program. It is NOT an official UVM application. However this pre-application will expedite the application process and allow the department to begin reviewing your application as soon as it is received. To be considered for graduate studies in Plant Biology, you must also complete an official UVM application, accessible from the Graduate College's Admissions Page. Note: Please choose "Botany" for your degree program when you complete your UVM application--Botany was formerly our department name, and it's still our official graduate degree name.

If you need more information about the graduate programs offered in Plant Biology at the University of Vermont before completing this preapplication, please visit the Plant Biology Graduate Programs webpage.
