Texas A&M to offer plant breeding doctorate degree through distance education
COLLEGE STATION Students desiring a masters or doctorate degree from Texas A&M University in plant breeding will no longer have to make the move to College Station, according to university officials.
We know there is a worldwide shortage and demand for plant breeders at the Ph.D. level, said Dr. Wayne Smith, associate department head for the soil and crop sciences department within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
As the global population increases, so does the demand for food, fiber and fuel, Smith said. Texas A&M, one of the top-tier U.S. universities training future plant breeders, has developed a plan to help meet the challenge and demand with a new distance education program in plant breeding.
There are many people with a bachelors or masters degree working with major companies who could help fill those positions, he said. This distance degree will give them the opportunity to remain employed wherever they are and still earn their next degree.

Food science is such a wide field to study; it has split into many subcategories. While at their core they have a number of things in common, when one gets to post-graduate work, one is forced to pick one particular arena over the other. The three main specializations are Soil, Plant and Animal Scientists.
All three disciplines have one goal in common; to improve the knowledge of food production. They usually work for food corporations, institutes of higher learning or some form of government. Some food scientists engage in basic research, discovering new food sources. Others analyze food to determine the nutritional levels and to determine harmful or undesirable additives. They also develop ways to process, package and store food according to industry and government regulations. Some even do research into cooking and preparation. Many also work hand in hand with environmental scientists these days.
As for the various specialties, the soil scientist studies the...
