Please read on to learn more about the application process for the Institute for Agroecology's programs and courses.
The application process and requirements vary based on your current student status at UVM, the program(s) in which you are interested, and whether you intend to take the courses for graduate credit. Please choose from the dropdowns for more information; if you have any questions, email Emily Hoyler at emily.hoyler@uvm.edu.
If you are a current UVM graduate student, you will need to apply for the Full/Micro Certificate Program in Agroecology through the Graduate College. However, some requirements are waived; please email Emily Hoyler, IfA Operations Manager, at emily.hoyler@uvm.edu for more information.
If you are a current UVM graduate student and wish to take IfA courses individually, and not as part of a certificate program, no application is required. You can register through the UVM Office of the Registrar.
Please note that some courses have prerequesites; instructor permission is required to bypass any prerequesite courses.
