Course summary
The Ph.D. degree in Animal Science will be granted in the following major areas of specialization: animal nutrition, physiology, pathology, immunology, molecular biology/biotechnology, food science, and food engineering. In addition to the major area of specialization, the student's advisor, in consultation with the Doctoral Committee, will determine whether the student should pursue a minor field of specialization. If a minor field of specialization is selected, the committee will judge the suitability of the field, relevance to the major area of specialization, and requirements for the minor.
Entry requirement for international students
Students may enter the Ph.D. program after having previously earned a bachelor's degree (B.A. or B.S.), M.S. degree, or Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent(s). A student who has been admitted to the Ph.D. program in Animal Science may begin working toward the degree. However, s/he has no official status as a doctoral candidate until he/she has passed the comprehensive examination. All students pursuing the Ph.D. will complete the following core courses: ANSC 865 Seminar (1 cr.) or FOSC 865 Seminar (1 cr.); ANSC 969 Doctoral Dissertation (9-12 cr.); CHEM 641 Biochemistry (3 cr.); CHEM 642 Biochemistry (3 cr.); and a statistics course: (FREC 608 Research Methods (3 cr.), FREC 806 Research Techniques and Procedures (3 cr.), or equivalent). Beyond the core courses, no specific number of courses completed or credits earned are uniformly required. Ph.D. Consideration will be given to the student's prior training and experience at the undergraduate (B.A. or B.S.) and M.S. and/or D.V.M. (if applicable) level(s). Students with more advanced training and experience will need fewer courses to complete their Ph.D. program. General requirements for the Ph.D. are based on a period of residency, writing of a satisfactory research proposal and dissertation, and passing the comprehensive and the final oral examinations.
