Application Process:
To make application to WSU and Food Science
Step 1 :
Apply to WSU Graduate School using the electronic application at
www.gradsch.wsu.edu/future-students/admission/apply.html.
Follow ALL directions and supply ALL the following documentation: official transcripts (sent directly from your Registrar’s Office); letter of interest stating specific degree area, future academic goals and/or research interests; resume; GRE score (General Test), names and addresses of three references (one from advisor) to submit using the new on-line system; TOEFL score sent from ETS (see below), and pay the application fee. If applying for an assistantship, mark the box on the on-line application that you want to apply for an assistantship.
Additional Score information:
- The GRE score is only a departmental requirement, so we do not list a minimum score requirement.
- For Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) the minimum scores are 550 (paper test), 213 (computer test) and 80 (for Internet test). If you received a degree from an English speaking school within two years of your intended enrollment at WSU, the TOEFL is not required. Applicants from the following countries are exempt from this requirement: Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Botswana, Guyana, England, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Scotland, Trinidad, and Tobago.
- To send your scores from ETS to WSU: university code is 4705 and departmental code for Food Science is 0107.
Step 2 :
The application and materials will be copied from the Graduate School to begin processing your application for evaluation at the School of Food Science. All materials must be complete before your application will be reviewed.
Departmental Review
Departmental review of your application includes the following two stages prior to notification of admission status:
- Graduate Affairs Committee Review (GAC)
- Faculty Review
When your application is complete, your file will be circulated to the GAC for review. If you meet the minimum admission standards, your application will proceed to the faculty, where they review your research interests and academic goals in hopes of finding potential advisees. Since it is necessary to find at least one faculty member willing to serve as your graduate advisor, we highly encourage you to contact any faculty of interest to discuss your research interests.
After these two reviews, our School will notify the Graduate School of our recommendation on your application. You will receive notification of your admission status from both the School and the Graduate School, the latter being the official admission notice.
