Requirements and Admission Criteria for Graduate Certificate in Natural Resources and the Environment at University of Rhode Island
Entry Requirements
Before you apply to a URI graduate program, you must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in the United States or the equivalent of a four-year degree at an international university that is evaluated by an approved agency. Most four-year degrees from accredited non-U.S. institutions are recognized as equivalent, but three-year bachelor’s degree programs from universities in India and some other Asian countries are not.
If you have a non-equivalent three-year degree, you will need to complete an additional year of undergraduate study, usually 18-to-24 credits at the 300-400 (advanced undergraduate) level. You can complete this work at your home institution, at URI, or at another accredited institution in the United States. Please note that completing this undergraduate coursework does not guarantee acceptance into a URI graduate program, and it cannot be applied toward the requirements for your graduate degree plan.
