Nutrition, Dietetics, and Sensory Sciences

Overview

Competitive applicants will have a science background appropriate for our degree programs. Recommendations concerning an applicant’s qualifications and admission are made to the dean of the Graduate School by the department. 

The final decision regarding admission of an applicant is made by the Dean of the Graduate School.

The Nutrition, Dietetics, and Sensory Sciences program is offered by Kansas State University.

Admission to graduate study at Kansas State University is granted on three bases: full standing, provisional, or probational.

Admission in full standing requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B average) in the last 60 hours of undergraduate work in an institution whose requirements for the bachelor’s degree are equivalent to those of Kansas State University.

 Applicants with grade point averages below 3.0 may be considered for probational admission provided there is evidence that the applicant has the ability to do satisfactory graduate work. Provisional admission may be granted to applicants who have subject deficiencies in undergraduate preparation as mentioned above or if there is uncertainty in evaluating the transcript.

Other admission requirements include: copies of transcripts; three professional recommendations; and applicant form detailing interest, skills and experiences.

Applications are holistically reviewed to determine recommendations for admission.
