What are the criteria for admission to RAP?
The primary criteria for student acceptance into RAP are: Academic excellence; evidence of a deep commitment to, and vision for, the integration of natural and social sciences to address some issue related to RAP. The essay of your RAP application is the place for you to communicate your interest in issues of social and ecological sustainability , how your past experiences and training have contributed to this interest and your vision for a graduate thesis project that will help you address your long-term professional goals related to sustainability. You are not expected to have a well-defined thesis topic before you enter the program, but we are interested in knowing your current vision for your thesis research and long-term professional goals.
