After meeting the program's admission requirements, applicants must also meet the minimum University Graduate Admission Requirements.

Application and fee
The application is available at: http://oregonstate.force.com. The application fee is $75 for domestic applicants, $85 for international applicants, and there is a discounted application fee if you apply to more than one program at Oregon State University.

Copies of your transcripts (academic records) from your undergraduate courses and graduate courses, and if applicable, degree statement for both degrees
Unofficial copies of academic records can be used for initial review purposes, however, at the point of admission you will need to provide official copies of academic records.

Statement of objectives
The statement of objectives should address your reasons for pursuing graduate school, specifically a degree in Wood Science, what has prepared you for a graduate, your research interests and how they relate to the research interests of our faculty, and how a degree in Wood Science will help you achieve your future goals.

Three (3) letters of recommendation
Three letters of recommendation are required for our admissions committee to review the application. Your references can be current professors or instructors, supervisors, academic advisors, or managers. These people should know you well and be familiar with your academic work, work ethic, and accomplishments. If you are applying for the PhD program one of your recommendations must be from your major professor for your Master’s degree.

 Resume/Curriculum Vitae
Your resume should highlight notable accomplishments, achievements, skills, presentations, and any publications in which you are listed as an author. You should include any research, internship, study abroad or work experience you have gained.

There is no maximum length, however, brevity is key. For College of Forestry scholarship consideration you will need to limit your resume to one page.
