Dairy Graduate Programs
Graduate Studies
Excellent opportunities exist for graduate studies in dairy science here at Michigan State University. Entrance to the program is often limited and very competitive. Each program is unique to the student. Students take a variety of graduate level courses and conduct research projects that lead to either Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Along with conducting research and taking courses, graduate students are often involved in classroom and laboratory instruction, as well as extension activities such as Michigan 4-H Discovery Day.
Graduate students within the animal science department focused on dairy, conduct research on the MSU Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research Center as well as commercial dairy farms throughout the state. Students present their research at conferences such as the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference, and the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference. Several MSU dairy graduate students have also presented at international conferences across the world.
