For admission to non-thesis MS program, students must apply for admission as graduate students to the Food Science & Technology (FST) program. The graduate admissions committee will evaluate the academic credentials of applicants. The applicant will be advised if they are academically qualified for our program, but full admission will not be given until a major professor is identified. Applications of academically eligible students will be made available to the FST faculty for review. No research assistantship commitment need be made for non-thesis option MS students. A minimum of four committee members are required. From researching the nutritional relationships in cancer, diabetes, and obesity to producing new food products full of flavor, you can find a graduate program that fits your interests.
