The doctoral program offers two options: animal and food sciences, and plant and soil sciences. Students entering this program may select research and classes to emphasize environmental microbiology, agronomy, animal nutrition, entomology, horticulture, or plant pathology. The objective of the degree program is to provide doctoral studentes an opportunity to study and conduct research with faculty in areas of excellence within the College. Research and training in the various disciplines are under four major ares of emphasis in the college: forage-livestock production; improvement and protection of soil, plants, and water; food and nutritional sciences; and resource development.

Genetics and Developmental Biology - The M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered in genetics and developmental biology, an interdisciplinary program involving the faculty and facilities of a number of departments in the various colleges and schools of the University. A student may concentrate in genetics or developmental biology.

Reproductive Physiology - The graduate program in reproductive physiology, leading to master's and doctoral degrees, is interdisciplinary, with faculty located in the Departments of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Physiology, and Plant and Soil Sciences.

Human Nutrition - Students pursuing a master's degree in the Human Nutrition specialization select either: (1) the master's degree program with a concurrent dietetic internship or (2) the master's degree program without a concurrent dietetic internship. Selection into the internship is highly competitive. Candidates are placed in a nationwide pool that is administratively controlledby the American Dietetic Association. Resident faculty make the final selection. Ony six interns are chosen annually for the internship at WVU.
