The degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engi- neering, Doctor of Philosophy and Engineer are of- fered with graduate programs in agricultural engi- neering through the College of Engineering. The Mas- ter of Science degree is offered in the area of mecha- nized agriculture through the College of Agriculture. The Master of Science, Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in the fol- lowing areas of research: soil and water conservation engineering, waste management, power and machin- ery, structures and environment, electric power and processing, and food engineering. Students can pursue a graduate specialization in food engineering through a cooperative program jointly administered with the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. Similar programs may be developed with other departments within the University. The Master of Science in the mechanized agricul- ture area of specialization provides for scientific train- ing and research in technical agricultural manage- ment. Requirements for admission into the Master of En- gineering and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs are the completion of an approved undergraduate program in agricultural engineering or related engi- neering discipline. Admission into the Master of Sci- ence program in the College of Engineering requires completion of mathematics sequence through differ- ential equations, eight credits of general chemistry and eight credits of general physics with calculus and laboratory or equivalent. Admission into the Master of Science concentration in mechanized agriculture requires completion of an approved undergraduate mechanized agricultural program and a working knowledge of a computer language. Any student not meeting the stated admissions requirements may be accepted into a degree program providing sufficient articulation courses are included in the program of study. Students interested in enrolling in a graduate program should contact the Graduate Coordinator. Candidates for advanced degrees in engineering are required to take at least nine credits of AGE courses at the 5000 level or higher, with at least six credits of AGE courses at the 6000 level, exclusive of seminar and thesis research credits. Other courses are taken in applicable basic sciences and engineering to meet educational objectives and to comprise an inte- grated program as approved by the department's Graduate Committee. Courses from other disciplines may be approved for graduate major credit. Master's students are required to complete at least three cred- its of mathematics at the 5000 level or higher, and doctoral students are- required to complete at least 12 credits. Candidates for the Master of Science concentration in mechanized agriculture are required to complete MAG 6312, at least three credits of statistics at the 6000 level and at least two credits of applied systems or computer programming at the 5000 level or higher. Prerequisite for admission to any graduate course is generally an undergraduate degree in agricultural en- gineering or related engineering discipline.
