The candidates will be initially evaluated based on the completeness of their applications, their academic records (as evidenced through their CVs and transcripts), their potential to flourish in the Coastal Sciences program (as evidenced through their statements of purpose and letters of recommendation), and potential to contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion in the Division of Coastal Sciences (as evidenced in their essays). The top three candidates will then be invited for an on-campus or virtual interview with faculty and students from the Division of Coastal Sciences. Preference for Mississippi residents from historically underrepresented groups in 沿海 and marine science may be shown if all other marks between applicants are equal.
