Graduate students

MS Graduate Research Associateship Available

Available in 2010 to pursue an MS in Plant Pathology.  Project involves international work in vegetable diseases (Sally Miller) > More


- Our students and alumni have excellent records of publications, awards and career achievements.  We are regarded as one of the leading plant pathology graduate programs in the U.S.

- Our MS and PhD graduate program is a major focus for our department.  We have 34 graduate students, with a 60% PhD to 40% MS student ratio.

- Programs span a gradient of basic and applied research - a hallmark of our department.

- Nearly all students are fully funded from sources such as OARDC, University fellowships/programs, extramural grants, foreign governments or private foundations. 

- About half of our students are in Columbus and half are Wooster-based.  Some courses and most department seminars are offered by videolink in both Columbus and Wooster.  Although individual situations may vary, students whose faculty advisors are located in Wooster typically take at least some coursework in Columbus and move to Wooster during summers and/or after course requirements are completed.
