FUNDING OPTIONS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS MORE THAN
2,000 GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS AWARDED ANNUALLY AT LSU
LSU offers a variety of funding options for graduate students — fellowships, assistantships, and awards. Students seeking funding are encouraged to contact their respective academic departments first. Individual departments also offer many fellowship programs. Fellowships are short-term professional development opportunities. Unlike internships, fellowship programs generally offer a stipend. Occasionally, additional benefits, including health care, housing, or student loan repayment, are offered. Fellowships are competitive programs that can be awarded, administered, and funded by universities and colleges, corporations, nonprofits, foundations, media groups, and governmental entities.
FIERCE IS FUN.

The LSU AgCenter and LSU provide equal opportunities in programs and employment.
You are driven and focused. And ready to take the next step in accomplishing big things. A graduate degree from the LSU College of Agriculture can set you on a course for success. Study at Louisiana’s largest land-grant institution and work alongside professors and researchers who are innovators in their fields. With 10 different programs, the College of Agriculture is promoting excellence in graduate education.
The Master of Science program offers three areas of study: • Agribusiness management • Natural resource and environmental policy • Agricultural economics Thesis and nonthesis options are available.
AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, M.S. AND PH.D. The agricultural economics graduate program is designed to encourage the intellectual growth of students through the development of conceptual and analytical skills. The faculty is devoted to helping graduate students attain academic, intellectual, personal, and career excellence. The Ph.D. program is a rigorous extension of master’s work with the opportunity for students to broaden and strengthen training. Students applying for the Ph.D. program should have completed an M.S. degree. In addition to training in economics and agricultural economics, the student is expected to be sufficiently grounded in mathematics and statistics.
AGRICULTURAL & EXTENSION EDUCATION, M.S. AND PH.D. The Department of Agricultural & Extension Education & Evaluation offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees that prepare students for careers in cooperative extension fields, youth development, secondary education, and higher education. Graduate students are an integral part of the success of the program and play an important role in the future of the agricultural education profession. The M.S. focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of individuals working in secondary agriscience teaching positions, cooperative extension positions, and positions in a wide range of closely related fields. The Ph.D. program prepares the next generation of university professionals.
ANIMAL SCIENCES, M.S. AND PH.D. In the School of Animal Sciences, students can focus on one of several areas of specialization: breeding and genetics, gamete and embryo epigenetics, stem cell biology, growth and development of skeletal and heart muscle, adipose tissue and associated diseases, meat science and technology, equine endocrinology and physiology, dairy foods technology, ruminant nutrition, and biotechnology. School faculty interact with scientists at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Pennington Biomedical Research Institute, and units of the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station throughout the state. Also, national and international collaborations provide research opportunities. The School of Animal Sciences also offers a nonthesis Master of Science program. The nonthesis M.S. program is a two-year program consisting of graduate-level course work, independent projects, and internships. Course work, in addition to basic sciences, is intended to introduce the student to a variety of clinical and research techniques in preparation for a variety of positions in the workplace.
APPLIED STATISTICS, M.AP.STAT. The Department of Experimental Statistics offers the Master of Applied Statistics degree. Students can opt for a nonthesis or thesis degree. Some students in the department pursue dual master's degrees or work toward the M.Ap.Stat. degree while pursuing a Ph.D. in another department. Students completing the degree are prepared to serve as applied statisticians or to pursue a Ph.D. in statistics or a related field. Employment opportunities exist for applied statisticians in business, industry, government, and in educational and research organizations. Students may also pursue a minor in applied statistics.
The Department of Entomology has been extremely successful in placing its graduates in positions in industry, academia, and government.
PLANT, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT & SOIL SCIENCES, M.S. AND PH.D.
ENTOMOLOGY, M.S. AND PH.D. In the Department of Entomology, graduate students are the engines that drive our research programs. Students can focus on one of several subdisciplines, including taxonomy and systematics, integrated pest management, urban entomology, vector ecology, public health entomology, pollination ecology, population genetics, physiology, and toxicology.
In the School of Plant, Environmental & Soil Sciences, graduate students can further their aspirations in disciplines as varied as weed science, plant nutrition, soils, horticulture, molecular biology, genetics and plant breeding, and precision agriculture. A strong emphasis is placed on developing field research skills. Many faculty and graduate students conduct field studies at LSU AgCenter research stations around the state. With the guidance of their major professors and advisory committees, students can design programs of study that fit their needs and interests.
NUTRITION & FOOD SCIENCES, M.S. AND PH.D. The School of Nutrition & Food Sciences offers advanced studies in food chemistry, food quality, product development, byproduct utilization, food safety, foods for health and combating effects of obesity, food microbiology, sensory analysis and consumer research, and nutrition and food biotechnology. Students may also study specific foods, such as seafood, rice, dairy products, sweet potatoes, peppers, meats, and more. The curricula provide students with education in four areas of concentration: food science and technology, food and bioprocessing systems, human nutrition, and molecular nutrition.
M.S. and Ph.D. graduates of the department are prepared for challenging careers in agricultural sciences as educators, researchers, extension specialists, diagnosticians, consultants, and much more.
PLANT PATHOLOGY & CROP PHYSIOLOGY, M.S. AND PH.D. The Department of Plant Pathology & Crop Physiology provides training for graduate students in fundamental and translational research on diverse aspects of plant diseases and abiotic stress. Students may focus their research in etiology, epidemiology, population biology and genetics, host-parasite interactions, host plant resistance, microbial communities and ecology, and management for diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes.
