Interdepartmental Majors and Co-majors
 
For students that are in an interdepartmental program (i.e., Biorenewable Resources & Technology;  Microbiology; Toxicology; Genetics; Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, etc.) and declare FSHN as their home department, many of the requirements stipulated for graduate students within the department must be met by interdepartmental students as well.  This includes a review of their graduate application by the appropriate FSHN Admissions Committee, FST or IGPNS depending upon the intended major professor’s program affiliation, submitting semester reports, and fulfilling the Teaching Assistant requirement.   Students are highly encouraged to attend at least one seminar per week, either in the FSHN Department or as part of their interdepartmental program.  Each Interdepartmental major will be evaluated yearly based on these accomplishments.  Students that are co-majors must fulfill all of the requirements of both majors.  The application file for co-majors must also be reviewed by the FSHN Admissions Committee following formation of the POS Committee.  Both interdepartmental students and co-majors are eligible for relevant scholarships and other forms of support such as travel grants.
