you can get a letter from your school stating that all courses were taught in english and scan it to them or wait for your ielts result.

Thanks @Zeezahbee

You've got a very good GPA there! If I'm right, you're going for Phd in Geology/Geophysics? Did you contact the schools you mentioned in your previous post? I might not be 100% right, but maybe you should talk to professors in your intended department first to know if they accept students with education degrees for their masters/PhD programs, then you can go from there. I said that because education is a whole different faculty here and they do their things separate. At least from my limited knowledge.

If you don't mind me asking, is your course a 4 year course? What school is it?

I'v read about the school / Dept requirements onLine, but I'm yet to confirm frm the Profs concerning the issue of Education Degree, I'l contact them ASAP,
My Course is a 4 year course at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, Affliated to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.

Please do contact Professors or program directors to know how they go about their application. This is an excerpt I got from the UND Geology program's webpage.
1. For admission to the geology Ph.D. program, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree in geology from an
accredited college or university or otherwise demonstrate sufficient coursework, training, or experience in
geoscience.
2. For “approved” status, students must have completed a 5-6 credit hour geology field course, along with
satisfactory achievement in supporting science and mathematics, as determined by the department graduate
admissions committee
.

The other schools you posted were not really clear on their specifications. Also, I think what they offer is PhD Geology and not PhD Geophyics. Those are two different courses.

Hi guys. I was going through the admission requirements of Savannah State Uni and Immunization Certificate was listed as one of the documents required to be sent across. How does one go about getting this? This is actually my first time of coming across such as a required admission document. Guys please educate me.

Surprisingly nobody has responded to my earlier question posted above. Does it mean none has ever came across such or no one knows how to go about it? Please please please and please a bro needs a responce.

Hey Guys, I just got wind of an information , that new international students are no longer entitled to the summer break and they must take summer classes. Can anybody confirm this .
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 6 by OjaP: 5:07pm On Feb 04, 2015
Stenon:

Ms Nas is right. You need to contact the schools graduate coordinators ASAP. You chose top geology schools that accept hundreds of applications a year. Priority would be given to applicants who have their first or graduate degree in the geological, physical, and natural sciences. Applicants who have taken (and passed) at least two years of Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and/or some geology classes would be given preference. Applicants with research experience and/or one or two publications would be considered first.

However, if you have taken all or most of the classes listed above; then you are good to go. If not, you may be required to take those classes first including some undergraduate (Introduction to geology, Mineralogy, Sedimentary petrology, Igneous Petrology, Metamorphic Petrology, Hydrogeology, Paleontology, Petroleum geology, and Structural Geology) and/or graduate geology classes, including the summer field class before advancing. This conditional admission of course can only be justified "only if" you have a good CGPA, bad a*s GRE scores, strong LORs, and a very strong statement of purpose among others. Please be informed that it may take you between 2-3 years (depending on how fast you are) to take these pre-requisites, and another 4-5 years to complete the PhD program. I will advise you to apply to as many schools as you can. Choose up to 3-5 safety schools just in case. With your record, funding is not guaranteed but its a possibility.

How is A.C.E today? I used to be a regular at the gym, Oduduwa hall, Fine-Arts studio, and the market. Many of my friends finished from your school.

P.S - When writing potential supervisors or graduate coordinators, do not say you have a degree in Physics Education. Please say that you have a dual degree in Physics and Education or a degree in Physics with a minor in Education. Let your transcript do the rest of the talking.

The one you did when you are very young, am sure you can scan it and send it to them or you go to local government around you house or international airport to get it done..

WRONG. You are to take 12 credit if you resume for summer. if you are already a student since spring or fall, summer is not mandatory.
