Agricultural engineering – Purdue University

Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue West Lafayette accepts applicants to doctoral and master's study, plus an MSABE track and two graduate certificates. A non-degree option also exists. The application package includes transcripts, recommendation letters, a statement of purpose, a personal history statement and a resume or CV. GRE results are welcome but not mandatory, and are weighed as one part of a holistic review. Both master's and doctoral applicants need a cumulative average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. A prior master's degree is not a condition for doctoral entry. Fall is the primary entry term, with spring and summer admission limited. The department notes that dates are approximate and depend on its graduate committee's schedule and faculty needs. Prospective students can contact the program office by email or phone using the details on the graduate admissions page. The program website gives further information about faculty, research areas and what to expect from the course of study, and applicants should read it before submitting an application.
