How to Apply

Dear Prospective Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in the Food Science Graduate Program at Penn State.

To complete your application for admission to our graduate program, you will need to provide the following required information (this includes completed application, application fee, and other documentation).

Once you have all the required information completed, follow the How to Apply to Food Science Graduate Program instructions.

Though we do accept applications all through the year, most of our incoming students join us during the fall semester. We recommend that you send in your application by December 15 if you would like to be considered for an assistantship starting in the fall semester and by August 15 if you would like to be considered for an assistantship starting in the spring semester.

No single item is used to determine your admission status. Therefore, it is important that you provide all the requested information promptly for processing your application.

We look forward to receiving your application for admission into our graduate program in Food Science.

Sincerely,
