- Bachelor’s degree in any of the agricultural, anthropological, biological, biochemical, mathematical, or physical sciences from an accredited college or university
- Undergraduate GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
- GRE scores are not required for admittance to the GDPE program – check with your prospective advisor for any specific requirements they may have
