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
食品加工和包装研究领域包括开发和应用研究。FST计划传统上在商品领域进行了与加工相关的研究。最近,加工研究的重点已集中在替代工艺上,而更多地关注食品安全。与许多包装学校不同,FST包装研究活动着重于材料与内部食物或环境(大分子-生物分子界面)的相互作用。该部门在建立校园内科学家和工程师的跨学科网络方面非常成功。该网络扩大了我们的研究机会,并提供了用于材料科学和工程学的分析设备以及用于评估食品的方法。
The food processing and packaging research area includes both developmental and application research. The FST program has traditionally conducted processing-related research in the commodities area. Recently the focus of processing research has been centered on alternative processes, with more emphasis on food safety. Unlike many packaging schools, the FST packaging research activities focus on the interaction of materials and the food or environment within (macromolecule-biomolecule interface). The department has been very successful at creating an interdisciplinary network of scientists and engineers on campus. This network expands our research opportunities and access to analytical equipment for materials science and engineering as well as methods for evaluation of food products.<br><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).
