国际学生入学条件
You may scan a copy of your official paper or electronic transcript provided to you from your institution's Registrar. Do not upload your institution's web-based academic record or a document stating it is not an official transcript. Make sure that all critical and identifying marks have been scanned and are legible. These include the institution's name, your name, the names of your courses, and the grades you have received. It is important that you scan both the front and back of your transcript as we will need to be able to review the information provided on the back of your transcript concerning credit hours, the institution's grading scale, etc. Please ensure that your file is in Word (.doc) or PDF format.
For admission, we expect a minimum TOEFL score of 90 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6.5 for admission. Further, TOEFL scores of 20 or greater in Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Reading subsections are required. Some departments may require higher minimum scores.
Students who anticipate appointment as Graduate Teaching Assistants are expected to have scored 25 or greater on the TOEFL Speaking subtest. GTA appointment of a student scoring 20-24 on the Speaking subtest should be justified explicitly within the particular academic unit, appointment of a student scoring below 20 on the Speaking subtest requires justification with the Graduate School.
International applicants are exempt from demonstrating English proficiency if they have graduated from an accredited university where English is the language of instruction or if they are U.S. permanent residents (green card holders). International applicants may demonstrate English proficiency by submitting scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A minimum TOEFL score of 577 on the paper-based test (PBT) or 90 on the internet-based test (iBT) is required for consideration of the application.
Now that almost everything is computerized, so are the GRE General Test and the GMAT. We no longer administer the paper tests at Virginia Tech. The closest testing centers to Virginia Tech are in Roanoke.
The minimum cumulative grade point average for admission is 3.0 or better, but that requirement may be waived depending on the applicant's professional experience and accomplishments as identified through a holistic review of your application.

课程简介
食品化学,感官评估和食品质量的系研究活动多样,范围广泛且生产力很高。传统上,一直非常重视商品(例如葡萄酒,乳制品,花生,肉和鱼/贝类)的存储/保质期的表征,但是最近的研究已扩展到包括抗菌剂,抗氧化剂和功能性食品的表征。此外,与化学家和工程师的研究互动为探索分子合成和修饰以改善新型分子的功能创造了新的机会。所有这些领域都有助于理解食物质量属性,例如质地,颜色,风味和营养成分。
Department research in food chemistry, sensory evaluation and food quality is diverse in activity, broad in scope and highly productive. Traditionally, there has always been strong emphasis on characterization of storage/shelf-life of commodities, e.g., wine, dairy, peanuts, meats and fish/shellfish, however recent research has expanded to include characterization of antimicrobials, antioxidants and functional foods. Additionally, research interactions with chemists and engineers have created new opportunities for exploring molecular synthesis and modifications for improving the functionality of novel molecules. All of these areas are instrumental in the understanding of food quality attributes such as texture, color, flavor and nutritional composition.<br>Food science and technology is a fusion of chemistry, microbiology and engineering. Our researchers explore innovation in the areas of creating new, healthful food products, and ensuring a safe and tasty food supply. Specific research emphases include: improving food nutrition, quality and flavor, developing novel functional food ingredients and products for promoting human health, packaging design and use of advanced technologies to identify and control food-borne disease causing organisms. <br>Individual graduate programs are customized with the advisor to emphasize food safety/microbiology, biochemistry, food chemistry, or packaging. Student graduate programs are built around courses in microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, engineering, and statistics. This diverse curriculum prepares students for opportunities in industry, universities or government. Students who earn graduate degrees in Food Science and Technology at Virginia Tech have pursued careers with large food companies (Nestle, Campbell, Kroger, ConAgra, Hershey, etc.) and public health agencies (USDA, FDA, State Health and Agriculture Departments).
