Fields of Graduate Instruction - Nutrition

The interdepartmental nutrition program consists of faculty from four departments (animal science, family and consumer sciences, food science, and poultry science). Students reside and conduct research in one of these departments under the direction of an appropriate advisor. Research in the nutrition program may be conducted with a variety of species and at various levels, such as molecular, cell, whole animal, and human communities. Research programs are primarily in the area of nutritional biochemistry or experimental animal nutrition (e.g. horses, ruminants, swine, poultry, rodents, and other species).

Admission Requirement: To be considered for admission, a student should have a B.S. or M.S degree in a science-related area. Students for M.S. or Ph.D. should contact and be recommended by a prospective major faculty advisor in their area of interest prior to final admission.

Master's Degree Requirements: A minimum of 24 course credit hours and a thesis is required for M.S., 36 for Master of Nutrition. The Master of Nutrition has options for all course delivery by Distance Education, with emphases in Feed Science or Human Nutrition, Food and Bioprocessing, and an option for course work that qualifies as a Professional Science Master's degree.

Student Financial Support: Assistantships and fellowships are available on a competitive basis from the departments in which the advisor resides. Admission does not guarantee availability of financial support.
