Program Description
Food Science is a multi-faceted discipline dedicated to providing people everywhere with safe, nutritious, high-quality, and innovative foods. Food Science combines elements of business, biochemistry, chemistry, economics, engineering, microbiology, and physiology within its scope. The interdisciplinary Food Science graduate program at Oklahoma State University gives students the opportunity to earn both MS and PhD degrees.
Faculty members from the departments of Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Horticulture and Landscape Engineering, and Nutritional Sciences work together to create a dynamic graduate degree program. Our program relies on the food science expertise of this diverse faculty to create a course of studies capable of fitting many needs.
Admission Requirements
Students must hold a BA or BS degree from a recognized program for admission to either the MS or PhD degree program. Students without food science degrees may be admitted but will be required to take additional courses to build a background in food science. A student must be accepted by an advisor in the program prior to admission.
A complete set of transcripts must be supplied for consideration. An overall GPA of at least a 3.0 (4.0 scale) is desirable for acceptance.
International students must submit documentation showing TOEFL score of at least a 550 (213 computer) score.
