Admissions

All Graduate School students must utilize the Graduate Student Portal in MyUW to add, change, or discontinue any doctoral minor. To apply to this minor, log in to MyUW, click on Graduate Student Portal, and then click on Add/Change Programs. Select the information for the doctoral minor for which you are applying.

Please see the Department of Plant Pathology's Handbook and Forms page (linked in contact box) for additional information. Minor requirements will be discussed and agreed upon in your initial committee meeting.
