Graduate faculty in natural sciences at WSU Vancouver are engaged in nationally- and internationally-recognized research across multiple disciplines. Our group is highly collaborative, and often partner on interdisciplinary projects.
Because graduate students work closely with faculty in pursuing their research, you must line up a mentor before applying. Explore this page to find a faculty member whose research interests fit with your own; then contact that person to discuss applying to graduate school at WSU Vancouver. Faculty members can be most helpful if they know a little about you. Please provide a resume or CV, educational transcripts and information about your research background and interests.
