Master's Degrees

One way to distinguish yourself academically and professionally is by earning a master's degree in addition to your certificate in U.S. or international food law.

Combined MSU Master's Degrees & IFLR Certificate

Combined programs allow a number of credits from the IFLR certificate program to count toward elective credits in another MSU program. If you are considering a combined program, you need to apply and be accepted into your choice of master’s program. It is recommended that admission to the master’s program be obtained before accumulation of credits in either program. The following MSU graduate programs have recognized IFLR courses in the past:

  • Agricultural Economics
  • Food Safety
  • Food Science
