Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] [Animal Science] From Cornell University

Graduate faculty in the Field of Animal Science include members from the Department of Animal Science, Division of Nutritional Sciences, and the College of Veterinary Medicine.

The field requires one more member on the Special Committee of both M.S. and Ph.D.degree candidates (i.e., three for the M.S., four for the Ph.D.) than is required by the Graduate School. At least one member of the Special Committee must be a member of the faculty in a department other than that of the chairperson. Students in an M.S. or a Ph.D. program are required to assist with the teaching program of the department.

At completion of the Ph.D. degree, a student should be able to:

• Make an original contribution to the field.
• Demonstrate in-depth knowledge in an area of expertise.
• Demonstrate broad knowledge across several areas in the field.
• Follow ethical guidelines for working in the field.
• Effectively communicate to professional and lay audiences about concepts in the field.
