Doctor of Philosophy Program
Graduate program in Food Science and Human Nutrition lead to a Doctor
of Philosophy degree. Specialization in Nutritional Science, focus on
either basic nutrition sciences or applied nutrition, including
nutrition education is available at the doctorate level. Overall
programs of study can vary considerably based on the background of the
individual student, research area selected, and approval of the thesis
committee.
CSU-UCHSC Consortium
Colorado State University and the University of Colorado Health Sciences
Center have a joint program in which a student can earn a Ph.D. degree
in nutrition from Colorado State University while completing dissertation
research at the UCHSC in Denver.

Interest Sheet
NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE - Ph.D. Degree
Course work in this specialization is intended
to provide a solid foundation in nutrition science,
biochemistry, and physiology. Through dissertation research
and electives, programs focus on either basic nutrition
sciences or applied nutrition, including nutrition education.
Overall programs of study can vary considerably. Two
examples, one emphasizing basic nutrition science and
the other applied nutrition, are shown below. These
are listed as examples, and not specific requirements.
Actual programs of study may vary considerably based
on the background of the individual student, research
area selected, and approval of the thesis committee.
The Ph.D. graduate committee will determine courses
appropriate for the program of study.
FOOD SCIENCE--(Ph.D. Degree)
Programs of study in this specialization are intended
to provide a strong background in food science and related
basic sciences and/or engineering. These basic sciences
will vary depending on the orientation of the dissertation
research, and may include advanced courses in biochemistry,
microbiology, physiology, organic chemistry, physical
chemistry, or chemical engineering. An example of a
program of study for a doctoral candidate with an M.S.
degree in biochemistry and who is emphasizing food engineering
is shown below. This is provided for illustrative purposes.
Actual programs of study may vary considerably based
on the background of the individual student, research
area selected, and approval of the thesis committee.
The Ph.D. graduate committee will determine courses
appropriate for the program of study.
Interdisciplinary
Studies Program in Food Science/Safety
The Interdisciplinary Studies Program in Food Science/Safety
is offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
The program is designed to provide students interested
in the safety and quality of food from "farm to
fork" with the background necessary for understanding
the roles and responsibilities of various members (such
as growers, producers, processors, retailers, and consumers)
within the food system in ensuring that food is safe
and healthful. The program is a cooperative effort of
faculty in seven departments and three colleges within
the University who share a common interest in food quality,
safety and integrated production/processing. Students
enrolling in this program will receive their degree
from their home department. Completion of the requirements
for the interdisciplinary program will be noted on their
transcript. Program details are available from the offices
of the Dean in the Colleges of Applied
Human Sciences, Agricultural
Sciences or Veterinary
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, or from one of
the collaborating Departments. For more information,
