Non-thesis tracks are mostly coursework with a small project, while thesis tracks center on research, with students usually funded through teaching or research assistantships. Research focus areas include animal physiology. A combined bachelor's and master's route is listed for food science, and the department also offers a doctorate. Fall applicants are offered a priority date for funding and separate final dates for international and domestic applicants, with a spring term also available. The listing sits in the Graduate College program finder, which also links to admission requirements, degree requirements, cost of attendance and outcomes information, and it offers options to inquire or apply.
