Fields of Graduate Instruction - Poultry Science

Course offerings and research programs are comprehensive in the areas of physiology, nutrition, microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, food science, immunology, genetics, pathology, and toxicology. The demand for men and women with advanced training in poultry science is far greater than the supply. Opportunities exist for graduates in research and teaching in universities, government, and private industry.

Admission Requirements: Factors considered for admission include grade point average, strength of prior academic program, experience, letters of recommendation, and special skills or interests. GRE scores are required.

Master's Degree Requirements: While there are no specific course requirements for the master's degree in Poultry Science, most programs exceed the minimum 30 credit hours.

Doctoral Degree Requirements: See Animal Science and Poultry Science.

Student Financial Support: Both research and teaching assistantships are available on a competitive basis within the department. General requirements for these assistantships are as described in the Graduate Catalog. Other financial support may be available in the form of graduate stipend supplementation, research grant support, or out-of-state tuition waivers in accordance with the University's Graduate Student Support Plan.

Other Relevant Information: The Department of Poultry Science occupies modern facilities in Scott Hall, a three-story building on the main campus adjacent to the D.H. Hill Library. The department consists of about 20 faculty, approximately 40 support staff, 25 graduate students and postdoctoral associates, and 100 undergraduate students.
