Overview
Key Features
Students interested in the Master of Science degree may choose a thesis or non-thesis option. Students interested in the poultry science graduate degree programs should contact Dr. Kelley Wamsley, graduate coordinator.
A comprehensive examination is required. The thesis director and graduate committee will determine specific course requirements for the student’s program. Before the end of the first semester of graduate work, the student of the Poultry Science program at the Mississippi State University must establish his or her graduate committee, complete the necessary paperwork, and gain the faculty members’ consent to participate on the committee. Once the student’s research plan has been established, the student is required to present his/her research plan to the faculty in the form of a departmental seminar.
