How to Apply
Admission to the Department of Animal Sciences Graduate Studies Program is competitive and selective. We strongly encourage applicants to follow the application procedures outlined below in order to be considered for admittance to the program.

Because admittance to the Graduate Studies Program is dependent upon an available faculty advisor, applicants who have not made personal contact with faculty members prior to admission may lose the opportunity for admittance. Therefore, applicants should:
• Review research areas within the department
• Identify your research area of interest
• Review faculty profiles
• Contact faculty members to discuss research and study opportunities
• Apply to Ohio State’s Graduate School online through The Ohio State University Graduate Admissions Office
