A professional Master’s degree via distance education requires thirty-six credit hours. Twenty-four of these hours will consist of wildlife and fisheries sciences courses and selected courses from other TAMU departments. Six elective credits may be applied toward the degree, 6 credits for a professional paper, and may include up to 9 credits of undergraduate 300 or 400 level courses. All courses will be determined through consultation between the student and his\/her advisory committee and based on the student\u2019s subject area needs. A final exam covering completed courses, to be held on the Texas A&M University campus, and professional paper<\/a> is required.<\/p>\n

Up to 12 hours of courses taken in residence at an accredited U.S. institution with a grade of B or greater may be considered for transfer credit if, at the time the courses were completed, the student was in degree-seeking status. Any transfer work is subject to review and approval by the student\u2019s graduate advisory committee, department head and the Office of Graduate Studies.<\/p>\n

Acceptance into the program will be limited and will require a B.S. or B.A. degree in science, agriculture or education; a 3.0 GPA on the last 60 undergraduate hours; and admission to the graduate program at Texas A&M University. A complete application (including application, fees, all transcripts, GRE scores, statement of career goals, and 3 letters of recommendation) must be received by September 1, 2004 for the Spring 2005 semester; by February 1, 2005 for the Summer 2005 semester, and by May 1, 2005 for the Fall 2005 semester.<\/p>\n
