Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management (QERM) Interdisciplinary Graduate Program at the University of Washington. Our next cycle of admissions will be for autumn quarter 2010.
Application Deadline: January 15, 2010
Before starting the application process you may want to review the following sites:
U.W. Graduate School Admissions
Online Application Site (new and returning to complete an application)
You may also want to check out FAQ's for applicants posted by current students on the QERM Wikipedia site.
Funding
QERM provides a first-year funding package consisting of a monthly stipend, tuition waiver and graduate appointee health insurance. After the first year, students are responsible for securing their own funding, typically through a research or teaching assistantship on-campus.
Because the number of first-year funded positions in QERM is limited (typically 3-4), applicants are encouraged to also consider applying for their own research funding through the National Science Foundation. Information on how to apply for NSF research funding can be found at:
International Applicant
Due to the time required for processing international applications, applicants applying for autumn quarter are strongly encouraged to submit the application and transcripts to Graduate Admissions by November 1.
