 Programs leading to degrees of Master of Agriculture,
Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy are offered.
Areas of specialization include nutritional biochemistry
and nutritional assessment, dietetics, food chemistry, food
processing, food microbiology, and food toxicology and
safety. In addition, a student can pursue a graduate special-
ization in food engineering through a cooperative program
administered by the Departments of Food Science and
Human Nutrition and Agricultural Engineering.
 Research within areas of specialization includes nutrient
function and metabolism, nutritional status, food product
and process development, food chemistry and analytical
methodology, food quality, food microbiology, seafood
technology, citrus processing, toxicology, and the metabo-
lism and analysis of pesticide residues in plant and animal
tissues.
 An American Dietetics Association Approved Preprofes-
 sional Practice Program (AP4) is available as part of a
 master's degree program leading to ADA registration. Pro-
 gram affiliates are located within a 45 mile radius of
 Gainesville. Students in the AP4 must sign waivers of
 liability for travel and clinical practice upon entering the
 program. Students are eligible for the registration examina-
 tion when the AP4 has been completed.
 Students should have sufficient background in physical
 and biological sciences, and food science or nutrition.
 Students with inadequate backgrounds will be required to
 take prerequisite subjects without credittoward theirgradu-
 ate degrees.
