SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry

Applicants should present strong high school academic credentials. A college preparatory curriculum is expected — three units each of college preparatory mathematics and science are required, four years are highly recommended. Art, architectural or technical drawing courses are highly recommended for applicants to Landscape Architecture. Advanced coursework at the honors or college level is highly recommended.

First Year applicant may choose from 3 application pathways: Early Action First-Year (non-binding), Regular First Year and Guaranteed Transfer.  Details on each pathway are available at the First Year Applicants webpage.
 

Transfer student admissibility is based primarily on academic performance in college coursework completed and the applicability of that coursework to the requirements of their intended ESF program of study. Consideration is also given to the relationship of the student's prior academic discipline to the intended program of study. For most ESF programs, emphasis is placed on the student's background in mathematics and science. Landscape Architecture applicants should have some background in art or graphic design. Details are found on the Transfer Applicants webpage.
