Ringkasan program

This program encourages applications from students interested in crop improvement in the context of global agriculture. Faculty research areas include not only applied breeding of major crops such as cereals, forages, potato, and diverse fruits and vegetables but also molecular genetics and genomics of crop plants. This program deals with development of plant materials for greater yield, disease resistance, adaptability, quality, etc. and with studies of breeding methods and principles. Molecular and biochemical studies to identify and isolate agriculturally important genes seek to relate information from model species to crop plant genomes, to compare crop genomes, to assess genetic diversity, and to develop bioinformatic tools relevant to crop improvement. Course work available ranges from plant breeding methods to molecular breeding to intellectual property issues. Special opportunities are available for students interested in international experience. Graduate students receive a broad education preparing them for careers in many areas of plant biology and agriculture.

Persyaratan masuk bagi mahasiswa internasional

Students seeking admission must have completed a bachelors’ degree. International students must take the GRE exam. Students whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and have the official score reported to Cornell from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Educational Testing Service provided a new Internet-based Test (iBT) version of the TOEFL. This new version will test all four language skills important for effective communication: writing, listening, reading, and speaking. Each section has its own score, and the Graduate School has set the following minimum scores for admissions: Writing: 20; Listening: 15; Reading: 20; Speaking: 22. Students will continue to accept scores for computer based (cBT) (213 minimum) and paper based (550 minimum) versions of the TOEFL that were taken within two years of the date.

Cornell University accepts IELTS*

Uraian Tempat

The Department conducts many extension/outreach activities, providing reliable advice about the crop varieties that perform best in New York/Northeast through comparative trials, publications, field days, training programs, seed conferences, etc. Faculty members also interact with industry and growers' groups, national programs in developing countries, international centers, etc. Susan McCouch, the first CALS Professor of International Agriculture to work on molecular genetics for crop improvement, conducts global outreach in this area. The Center for Genomic Diversity, headed by Steve Kresovich, provides training in modern genetic assessment techniques for a broad national/international audience. Department facilities are currently divided between laboratories/offices in Bradfield or Emerson Halls and greenhouse/fieldhouse operations in the Guterman area, with 300 acres of plots on experimental farms at various locations. The Kresovich lab is located in the Biotechnology Building. Labs of Tanksley, McCouch and Smith are part of the new Plant Genomics Facility in Emerson Hall. Several special programs are associated with the Department. The New York Seed Improvement Project produces and distributes certified seed and serves as the official seed certifying agency of the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets. The USDA Center for Agricultural Bioinformatics organizes molecular and agricultural information about rice, small grains, Solanaceae, and crucifer crops for global electronic access. Headquarters of the Cornell-Eastern Europe-Mexico (CEEM) Project on Potato Late Blight Control are in Plant Breeding. The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) also has close links with the Department.

Informasi mengenai akomodasi

Cornell has a variety of residential communities that are ideal for graduate students - both for single students and for students with partners or families. On-campus housing offers close proximity to Cornell’s academic facilities and downtown Ithaca, a wide range of services, resources, and social activities, and special programs for families and children. Full-time professional staffs members help ensure that residents have access to all the opportunities available through Cornell and in the greater Ithaca area. These residents tell student that they especially appreciate their friendly neighborhoods and supportive, multi-cultural communities. Typically more than half of this graduate residents are international students and families, representing more than 60 home nations.
