An interdisciplinary program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Animal, Nutrition and Food Sciences is offered under the direction of a committee composed of faculty members drawn from the departments of Animal and Veterinary Sciences and Nutrition and Food Sciences. The goal of this interdisciplinary program is to provide advanced education and research training in mammalian physiology and endocrinology, mammary gland biology, basic and applied nutrition, and food microbiology and technology. While all Ph.D. students will complete a common core of courses, they will choose from one of three tracks for specialized study: nutrition, food sciences, or animal science. The program provides flexibility necessary for students to gain competence in the area of their choice. The extensive research facilities of the participating departments are available to all graduate students enrolled in the program. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal, Nutrition, and Food Sciences requires a minimum of 75 credit hours (beyond the baccalaureate degree) in courses and in dissertation research. All candidates for the doctoral degree will satisfactorily complete a minimum of 51 credit
