Exploring What We Eat
A doctorate gives graduates the professional and leadership skills to succeed in food and allied industries, government or academia. Students interact with faculty at both the 果冻传媒麻豆社 and Washington State University, allowing for a more diverse education and access to research facilities at both institutions.
Your program of study will be individualized based on your research interests, academic experience and collaboration with your major advisor. You will conduct innovative and high-quality research to solve emerging problems in food science.
