Abstract
Information concerning graduate programs was received from 26 departments offering advanced degrees in poultry science. Programs were offered in 11 areas of specialization. The programs most frequently available were genetics, nutrition, physiology, and products technology. The credit hour requirements (quarter hours or equivalent), exclusive of thesis, ranged from 27 to 45 for the M.S. degree. Some of the Ph.D. programs had no specific requirements for course hours, while the others ranged from a minimum of 36 to a maximum of 90 hours.There were 220 M.S. and 140 Ph.D. students working towards advanced degrees as of fall 1978; of these, 25.3% were foreign nationals. A total of 291 and 197 M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, respectively, were granted by the 26 departments during the last five years.The results of this survey indicate that graduate education is an important function of the instructional and research programs of most departments of poultry science.
